I cannot reproduce this anymore since the machine I used is no more under my physical control and is in production... anyway I'm sure on a HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 the installer image (1.0.0 version) [1] listed the USB media as /dev/sda while I've always observed (and reproducing now on a testing machine) that it's listed as **the last** /dev/sd? device in the list This is **very** important when installing grub, in fact grub installation failed when instantiating my config.scm on the HP ProLiant simply because it was on /dev/sda pointing to the USB media; I had to manually install grub on /dev/sdb to complete the install A couple of questions: 1. has anyone observed a similar issue? 2. what could have caused it? 3. how is the USB media "relocated" to the last /dev/sd? device by the installer? Happy hacking! Gio'. [1] the only custom thing I made was adding "vga=3D791" and removing "quiet" from the kernel arguments =2D-=20 Giovanni Biscuolo Xelera IT Infrastructures --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEERcxjuFJYydVfNLI5030Op87MORIFAlzpBRcACgkQ030Op87M ORLGAA/+OwZq1cbaTb8RvBOwiQkvKd3yv4kkCYwpX+vmNTakkHUJqynK0RJAjVBA 75h/46J/TQguaiYAEs2dvI3+Kc4JSRFdoJroSJ/Pu5os2i77boQGGmx/K3TVuvQm WKdgGp0tE6kP6JSEGwiiNMErq2TIGRunK8EcckdV2nEoear0oVnJ3uEDbJsjSLLl 53k9O9rrgKd/mPZQe2CppRKOlUlCe+B2RdZmcOhUFK/UkiEDECklahhPs/5m1kef wMFa/+dL2C769NCErNBfZKXKAwWtfvqOlq1+aQvCjvX3ZYl57Yu8wvFaWhD1wXOB uAt4euxLHh71lW/kWbhtGKw4dnJBIjv23rTaW3LKF3Ta3RiHjgmDeTlznPj38nmR XPirbaWom8O1FhXEJWhCgHVxa2bJI/oc1kR8NEYRwYmNmUiab1Q0i0bVRfPAu7ZC erWPRgnzMFK/UMAeq1VmJslZdRtar5e0dur27AeN87BqoQlsa9vscB6EGpBdpcRp JHDrgEGGIJJK3hV4RoNoKF7pp8DkYl9t8OfpaSQ/ivPXiAFcflQ+NXnI49YM/Kvm q7+YxKwGqThnf/hCQTg0ARfQsPbOZ5txWKIceehh0KrDfgn2/f1OKlbo2kW9TfUN sq1tX04zgZBqFYGX2buZ0fD3utGC1o6wptNJN5hlWavW2XJ9p6w= =dNPj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
