4. Loading of the Insight Control for Linux RAM disk.
If the server tries to boot a local disk instead of the
Insight Control for Linux RAM disk, examine the /opt/

a network with DHCP, acquire several packages from

Deployment of SLES 10 SP3 fails when logical volumes span
disks on multiple controllers
Deploying an image on a managed system, running SLES
10 SP3, with multiple disks (each on individual controller)
fails because the order of the disks observed by the RAM
disk does not agree with SLES 10 SP3. As a consequence,
the image is deployed to the wrong disks.
