           Summary: Systems with HW RAID(megaRAID) and others sdc1 has to
                    be manually changed to
                    /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part1
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Kernel
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com

I fought with this for a few days.  I have to manually find from the y2logs the
correct /dev/disk/by-.../ for the system to work.  SuSE linux
10.0/10.1/10.2/10.3 all worked with out any problems.  A fresh installation of
11.1 always errors out.  The system would not boot after an installation.  I
had to boot from a repo on the net or at the location use the KDE 4.2.3 recut
CD.  The original media all ways to boot.  I got everything working after the
installation on several machines.  All the various machines would identify the
HD's but not the RAID.  It would always list them with /dev/sdc...  but using
it would always fail.  I had to manually identify what the correct
/dev/disk/by-...  would be and then use it.

After the installation.  I ran zypper up and zypper up -t patch.  When the new
kernel is install the manually edited entries are changed from
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part1 to /dev/sdc1 for example.
 Also the /etc/fstab is changed back.  I really should not have to manually
check and edit everything and change it from sdcX.  I have to manually edit
/etc/zypp/repo.d/...  and change and hd:... to use this as well.  New repos can
not be install as there is no pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0-part1 with all the
various partitions.  Once I manually add them correctly in the .repo file they
work well.  So this bug may be in more than one component.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install on any HW Raid device
2. update kernel on any HW Raid device
3.
Actual Results:  
Install from a fixed 11.1 internet repo or from the KDE 4.2.X recut CD's.

A sdc or higher will appear and you have to find the correct disk/by-...  to
use.

Expected Results:  
Machine boots on a fresh install.  Which is does not.
