I think, D-I will face the same problem with any boot loader, sooner or later.
If the disk presentation of the kernel differs from that used by BIOS/DOS,
even Grub is doomed to fail.
Is there any effort to make Grub/Lilo/Syslinux to tell its (read: BIOS) view
of the disks/geometries to the kernel, so we can use this in D-I to make the
boot-loaders configuration right? Imagine, we have Grub as loader for D-I. On
boot, it gives the kernel a parameter like
hdconf=0x80=serial-nr,0x81=serial-nr,... etc, so we can scan the devices with
hdparm later and compare them with hdparm's output (or something similar for
scsi).
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
