1. Introduction
After first step install system reboot there is two problems : system can not mount / and partitions assignation are not good (sdb and not sda)
dmesg : sd2:0:0:0 attached scsi removable disk sda Done ALERT! /dev/sdb1 does not exist. dropping to a shell
2. Fix
- Install Debian
- Don't reboot at reboot prompt but switch into vt2 (ctr-alt F2)
- Manually mount partitions on temporaty directory. (mkdir /tt; mount /dev/sdx /tt)
- Prepare to create newer initrd : lsmod|cut -d " " -f 1 > /tt/etc/initramfs-tools/modules
- chroot /tt
- update-initramfs -t -c -k `uname -r`
- edit with vi /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst to change sdb by sda
- now you can exit from chroot , umount and reboot the system
Update 04/07 Since Etch 4.0 release
- boot and start install from cd1 or netinstall
- At network prompt (after module checking and loading) switch to vt2
- type : modprobe -r usb_storage; modprobe -r megaraid_sas
- type : modprobe -v megaraid_sas ; modprove -v usb_storage
- switch to vt7 and continue installation. No more sda/sdb problems.
