I have an older Intel server with a Mylex RAID card in it. The array is 6 drives in RAID 5, no spares. The installer complains about not being able to do anything on the array, so i got into a rescue kernel boot and used fdisk to make three parttitions on it. /dev/rd/c0d0p1 - /boot (ext2) /dev/rd/c0d0p2 - swap (swap) /dev/rd/c0d0p3 - / (xfs) I made the filesystems after syncing the disks.
But the installer doesn't recognize them at all. It sees /dev/rd/c0d0 as a full partition, and states it cannot do anything with it.
How do i get the table read? How do i initialize the array for usage in the installer?
I am eagerly waiting for the answer as well because I suspect that I currently have the same problem with an old FSC Primergy 470 with Mylex DAC960PRL Controller. Can you delete the partitions and create them in yast again? If not, I can't update to Suse 10.2 either.
Did you report this in bugzilla? Which bug number is it? Without a bug report - and testers that test during the beta phase - there's not chance to get this fixed, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
