hi anas :-)
see inline our append line from the pxelinux-config file used for installation.
----------------------------------- append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.suse9p insmod=mptbase insmod=mptscsih insmod=ips autoyast=nfs://x.x.x.x/profiles/servername/autoyast.xml server=x.x.x.x serverdir=/autoyast/susecds hostip=x.x.x.y netmask=x.x.x.x gateway=x.x.x.x vga=791 ------------------------------------
with that at first the modules for the lsi-adapter are loaded and the scsi device on that channel will be /dev/sda. the external raid device on the serveraid adapter is recognized as /dev/sdb because the ips-module is loaded after the mpt-modules.
the autoyast.xml is read the partitioning takes place and the installation starts, after installing all packages from cd 1 a reboot occurs and the autoyast-generated initrd loads the ips module before the mpt modules, so the deviceorder changes, the reboot fails and the installation can't be finished ... :-(
helge.
