disks missing during installer
Hello, I am using preseed to install squeeze, although I am not sure
if that matter. However, the installer only sees the flash card (being
one of the disks), but I don't see any other disks. There are 4 disks
in this system, in addition to this flash card. What is weird is that
when I remove the flash card then it sees all the disks.
Also we have a nfsroot environment, based on lenny. When I boot the
machine into nfsroot then it sees all the disks, including the flash
card. We have a bunch of machines, I have tried 3 different machines
and they are all exhibiting this behavior.
Some relevant information
~ # ls -ld /dev/?d*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 13 18:13 /dev/fd ->
/proc/self/fd
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 8, 0 Apr 13 18:13 /dev/sda
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 8, 1 Apr 13 18:13 /dev/sda1
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 8, 2 Apr 13 18:13 /dev/sda2
~ # cat /sys/block/sd?/device/model

~ # blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="ae984ba3-ba08-4d63-8583-42e8b3166fe9" SEC_TYPE="ext2"
TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda2: UUID="NAIv54-uv1o-n0FN-MM4G-ymyh-0diH-sVBt10" TYPE="LVM2_member"
(It installed on the flash card previously, hence the LVM2_member above)
Appropriate modules seem to be there
