At work yesterday I wrote documentation describing how to overcome what
happens when the RHEL 5.x installer sees add-in PCIe storage cards and
makes them /dev/sda instead of an integrated scsi/sas/sata controller.
Ignore this and you end up installing your Linux system and your boot
loader to an external storage array instead of internal, which can be a
real problem when the BIOS wants to do it in the opposite manner.
I wrote: do this, then do this, then do this, then that, then this. I
made efforts to simplify the words but it was clear the process is the
problem.
Then I repeated the same thing in RHEL 6 and the entire problem just
went away.
It's like somebody said <this> is problem: Go fix it and they actually
did. The new method, a panel on the left listing all your controllers,
a panel on the right allowing you to select them and choose a boot
controller, is all you need and nothing more.
