I don't know about that specific model, but I had similar symptoms with several Proliants, some of which had the same ciss card, some not, which are solved by using a different boot loader (i.e. the partitioning is fine, just the boot loader isn't). Try sysutils/extipl, search the mailing list archives for details. Of course, this works for me, YMMV. --------------enig681113C898100C397715D16C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIEEJVldnAQVacBcgRAjszAJ9Yd+dFfX6L2ZbsjTEqq6Y3JvAVswCgsfuf g/O2V79IKmURAfnAyNzpbdA= =cW4w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig681113C898100C397715D16C--
