Description Eric Jennings 2004-02-10 09:55:55 UTC
When the 2004.0 CD boots the experimental (2.6.1-gentoo-r1) kernel, it has ide-scsi emulation built in and places that drive at /dev/sda.  When the mpt modules are loaded manually later, it places the drive at /dev/sdb, and you can't make it go to /dev/sda for installation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot 2004.0 livecd on a computer with mpt fusion drives and ide zip/cd-r drive
2. boot experimental kernel
3. modprobe mptbase
4. modprobe mptscsih

Actual Results:  
Hard drive is located at /dev/sdb and zip drive is at /dev/sda.  ide-scsi is
built in to the kernel and can't be unloaded.

Expected Results:  
ide-scsi should be a module so that the hard drive can load into /dev/sda

Computer has two IDE cd-rw drives and one IDE zip drive and one MPT fusion drive.

Already fixed in kernel-config. Will take effect on the next cd-release
