anaconda kickstart failing due to phantom lun in HP Gen8 beta unit
Issue
- attempting to install RHEL 6.1 via kickstart on a new HP generation 8 beta unit. Unfortunately it's failing due to a new "intelligent provisioning" partition that is presented via the BIOS to the server, which looks like a read-only disk. After laying out partitions, anaconda fails with a error message and the file /tmp/storage.log contains the following details. This is occuring even if i try to suppress /dev/sdb by kickstarting with 'ignoredisk --drives=sdb' Any ideas?
