LVM & SLES9-SP1 on HP Proliant DL380-G4 - openSUSE Autoinstall

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>
            <lvm_group>rootvg</lvm_group>
            <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
            <size>max</size>
          </partition>
        </partitions>
        <use>all</use>
      </drive>
      <drive>
        <device>/dev/rootvg</device>
        <is_lvm_vg config:type="boolean">true</is_lvm_vg>
        <partitions config:type="list">
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
            <lv_name>rootlv</lv_name>
            <mount>/</mount>
            <size>10G</size>
          </partition>
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
            <lv_name>swap1lv</lv_name>
            <mount>swap</mount>
            <size>2G</size>
          </partition>
          <partition>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
            <lv_name>swap2lv</lv_name>
            <mount>swap</mount>
            <size>2G</size>
          </partition>
        </partitions>
        <pesize>4M</pesize>
        <use>all</use>
      </drive>
    </partitioning>
Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
