Hi folks, We've just got a set of Tyan Thunder motherboard machines with the nvidia chipset 00:05.0 RAID bus controller: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a3) 00:05.1 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a3) 00:05.2 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a3) I'm installing SL5x onto them - Plan is they will be xen dom0 machines to run SL4x domU machines with glite 3.1 stacks in. The raid card is seen OK with the sata_nv kernel module, but I can't generate a fixed name for the kickstart process (sda or sdb are not visible during kickstart, If I omit our lvm setup section from kicksdtart it installs OK manually but thats not scalable. Also I detest the bog standard RHEL method of naming /dev/VolGroup00/ LogVol00 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 etc etc svr014:~# dmraid -s *** Active Set name : nvidia_djeacebf size : 488397056 stride : 128 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 svr014:~# dmraid -r /dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_djeacebf", mirror, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_djeacebf", mirror, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0 But I want to set the nvidia_xxxxxxx to be a fixed string so I can define the drive settings in at build time - can anyone suggest how I could do this (can't see modprobe options anywhere and the docs in the 2.6.18.* git tree are somewhat sparse).
