Re: partitioning scsi disk
What kind of server do you have, what is the name of your primary disk.

Subject: partitioning scsi disk
Hello list!!
hey guys.. I am attempting to provision a physical server, and just to get the ball
rolling I tried to use the sample.ks file. but unfortunately when I boot the device it is
unable to find it's root device and kernel panics. I was wondering if I could get a
tip on how to partition a scsi drive.
I haven't as yet resolved the networking issue I was experiencing the other day. But
if I use the url --url=$tree option the installation seems to go smoothly. Not sure
however why that would work and NFS and an external url wouldn't. Might be a routing
issue with the dns server. But as the --url=$tree option is working now I'd like to
try and focus on the partitioning aspect I am now experiencing.
Thanks!!
