I am installing Debian Testing on an off brand server. It has 4 SCSI drives on the internal SCSI (Adaptec) and 11 SCSI drives in an external array running on a second controller (Qlogic).
I was going to play with LVM on this box, and wanted to setup a couple raid5 arrays and put those into LVM. I was exluding my root partition and /boot from this.
It was detecting one of my 9 gig drives as 1.1 GB, so I low level formated and verified the disk media in the SCSI bios utilities. Still had trouble, so I booted my Gentoo install cd, and manually fdisked and created the partitions.
sda1- 256 MB partion (/boot)
sda2- 1 gig swap
sda3- s/w raid partition (rest of 9 gig disk)
sdb-sdd
partition 1- 1gig+256MB swap
partition 2 - rest for linux raid
fdisk on the gentoo CD showed this (I exited fdisk using w to write the partition changes and checked again) but debian install shows no partitions, 1.1 gig drives.
Any ideas? This is Debian Testing net install CD, about 2 months old
