We're about to place an order for a significant number of these
servers, but I can't get an official answer on whether 8.04 installs
cleanly and without issue.  As I told my Dell team, this is pretty
disappointing considering it's 2009 and we're talking about a product
from a Dell partner (Canonical).

I'm sure there is someone within Dell that has this answer, and yes, I
know it depends on the config, but assuming no special options, does
it work or not?
An unofficial answer is fine and I will not requote/retweet your
reply, I just need some facts before placing my order.

Thanks.

Dan

Just go into the DRAC setup at boot and set it to 'detached'.

thanks,

Thanks for your your valuable answers, sorry for the typo error
the disk was indeed sdb3 not sda3

Giving up waiting for root device
Alert /dev/sdb3 (not sda3) does not exist
Dropping to a shell

Therefore i still have the same error though.

I have virtual media installed. can you please tell me how to remove the
virtual disks please.
Kind Regards,
Prashant

Do you have a DRAC on this system?



If so detach virtual media and that should fix it, we've been battling
this for years.



For some reason virtual media becomes /dev/sda



thanks,

That's the problem - your drive is sdb, not sda.  Edit fstab to show

sdb partitions.

Any other controllers or drives present?  Odd that it would switch the

order to sdb.

We've seen this when adding external arrays on a PERC6E for example,

but not with a single drive/array.





This wouldn't explain why it didn't work with UUID and the installer.



There is a Debian bug suggesting that some kernel versions cause issues
with

this hardware configuration.

Anyone with any idea of what might be happening here, please let me
know.  I
have not rebooted the server, but wouldn't think I would need to either.
omreport chassis did work 1 time, but afterwards all services stopped,
very
strange.

Thanks for any help provided!

Try running these two commands and see if it fixes it.

# /opt/dell/srvadmin/hapi/bin/dsm_sa_ipmi start
# srvadmin-services.sh restart
