I have a Proliant 1600 with a Smart SL2 Array controller. I want to install SuSE 8.2 Professional on it.
I boot off the CD, select my language, and tell it that it will be a new installation.
It starts updating the "Installation Settings" screen and tries to look up the existing partition table but fails.
lsmod shows that cpqarray is loaded, and fdisk -l /dev/ida/c0d0 shows the current partition table. It seems that the setup program can't detect these partitions.
I have tried removing the partitions and starting again, but get the same error. I have even tried manually creating the partitions, but nothing seems to make any difference.
Does anyone know how I can install SuSE on this server?

#mkfs /dev/fdxx
where fdxx is the disk partition ID, to format the partitions.
Your install may go better if you manually format with mkfs; just a thought.

Re: SuSE 8.2 on a Proliant 1600
But, the number of distrbutions supported with this array are limited. I can not always see the logic in the choices made.
So use a supported distribution or don't use the array.
Sorry, Suse might not be what you want if you want to use that array.

SolutionI just checked the SUSE compatibility page http://hardwaredb.suse.de/showProduct.php?LANG=en_UK&searchtype=simple&product_id=21890&arch_id=&dist_id=&PHPSESSID=a728641e115b4998fdea5ee9f38e3c26
SUSE 8.0 and 8.1 fully support the Compaq Smart Array 2SL.
I don't know why 8.2 is not marked as supported. Suse didn't test it?
From similar questions on RedHat Linux and RAID controllers I learned that you may need a driver diskette. I searched but could not find such a diskette...
Other wild guesses:
- sometimes adding a startup option helps(like ide=nodma or acm..=off)
- BIOS settings?
