[Bug 232768] New: yast2 grub config tool fails to configure/install grub for dmraid drives
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232768 Summary: yast2 grub config tool fails to configure/install grub for dmraid drives Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: djwong@us.ibm.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: lcm@us.ibm.com, rweight@us.ibm.com I have an IBM x346 with the Adaptec 7902B U320 SCSI controller and HostRAID in the SCSI BIOS. The system has two 36GB SCSI disks which I have configured as a RAID0; I am attempting to install OpenSUSE 10.2 onto the RAID0. During installation, the grub configuration tool in yast proposes that it install itself to an obviously bogus device:
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (/dev/mapper/asr_RAID,4)
"(/dev/mapper/asr_RAID,4)" is not a grub device; the proper device name in this case is "(hd0,4)". The menu.lst file suffers a similar fate with things like this:
root (/dev/mapper/asr_RAID,4)
Just prior to the first boot, the installer trips over the bad device names when it tries to install grub. I also noticed that the grub device map is suspiciously devoid of hdX entries:
(fd0) /dev/fd0 <EOF>
It appears that these dmraid device file names are not being translated into grub's "(hdX..." syntax, nor is a device.map mapping set up. The end result is that grub fails to install. If I tell yast to put "(hd0) /dev/mapper/asr_RAID" into device.map, the menu.lst file fixes itself and grub installs fine. It appears that the key dependency is having that "(hd0) /dev/mapper/asr_RAID" line in device.map. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232768 ------- Comment #1 from epitti@sandi.net 2007-01-17 22:33 MST ------- (In reply to comment #0) I have confirmed this to be an issue with the Adaptec HostRAID controller in the IMB xSeries 306 (type 8836-5MU) as well. Also confirmed, the workaround to edit devices.map does work and allows the install to complete. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

(right bottom corner "other" --> "create new configuration"). (You don't have to save the configuration if it's broken by hitting "back"). If that proposal is correct, I'll close this bug as we can't fix the DVD-media, and it'll be fixed for 10.3 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Proposed device.map contents are still: (fd0) /dev/fd0 and the menu.lst proposal still has things like "root (/dev/mapper/asr_FOO,4)" in it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
