Bug#440161: wrong /etc/fstab when installing on RAID using Adaptec 2100S
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20070308
I recently used d-i to install etch on a FujituSiemens Primergy F200.
That maschine has 6 SCSI-Drives built-in, which i have configured as
RAID5 (no Hotspare) using the Adaptec-BIOS. During POST and installation
the RAID-Array is shown as /dev/sda.
Then i have created a ext3-Partition /dev/sda1 for /boot and a LVM on
/dev/sda5 using the rest of the Array-capacity for /.
Installation proceeded fine.
After rebooting the maschine, everything worked fine. System found LVM
and could mount it correctely, but then failed to mount /boot (which is
on /dev/sda1 - as i thought).
I found out, that for the Adaptec 2100S the modules i2o-core and
i2o-block are loaded. The modules find the Adapter correctely.
But my /boot-partition - formerly known as /dev/sda1 - could now be
found at /dev/i2o/hda1 after loading the i2o-modules.
After changing the line in /etc/fstab from
/dev/sda1 /boot [...]
to
/dev/i2o/hda1 /boot [...]
and rebooting the maschine - it worked!
Dont know, if that is a problem in d-i or in i2o...
