Why the grub boot loader is not installed to the first scsi drive (sda) when --driveorder option is not specified in the bootloader kickstart command
Issue
- I have a machine with two disks (
sda
andsdb
), and I'm trying to installRed Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7
on that with a kickstart file. - I could install it successfully on the almost machines, but it failed on some machines. It could not boot after installation.
- It seems that the
grub
boot loader was installed intosdb
, and it caused the boot issue. - If
--driveorder
option ofbootloader
kickstart command is specified, this problem never happens. - But, I want to know the reason why
sdb
can be sometimes selected as a boot disk.
Environment
