LVM & SLES9-SP1 on HP Proliant DL380-G4

20 Jan 2005

      I'm getting the following LILO error when building an HP Proliant
DL380-G4 with LVM and SLES9 Service Pack 1:

Error Occurred while Installing LILO
Warning:  LBA32 addressing assumed
Fatal:  Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0xfd00

The DL380-G4 has a SmartArray 6i RAID controller in it with two 72GB
drives mirrored.  I do not encounter any errors when I configure
autoyast to use conventional partitioning.

Here is the partitioning section from my control file for LVM:

    <partitioning config:type="list">
      <drive>
        <device>/dev/cciss/c0d0</device>
        <partitions config:type="list">
          <partition>
            rootvg
            primary
            <size>max</size>
          </partition>
        </partitions>
        <use>all</use>
      </drive>
      <drive>
        <device>/dev/rootvg</device>
        true
        <partitions config:type="list">
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
            rootlv
            <mount>/</mount>
            <size>10G</size>
          </partition>
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
            swap1lv
            <mount>swap</mount>
            <size>2G</size>
          </partition>
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
            swap2lv
            <mount>swap</mount>
            <size>2G</size>
          </partition>
        </partitions>
        <pesize>4M</pesize>
        <use>all</use>
      </drive>
    </partitioning>

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
