SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Installation and Disk Enumeration

The operating system may not boot when SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 is
installed on a system that has the SAS 6/iR controller with more than two
hard drives connected. The issue occurs when the hard drives are configured
with more than one RAID configuration, or when one RAID volume along
with one or two individual disks are connected to the controller. In these
scenarios, the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 installer will install the grand
unified bootloader (GRUB) to the incorrect hard drive. To avoid this issue,
complete the following steps during the operating system installation:

1 Insert the SUSE Linux installation media and proceed with the

installation screens to the Installation Settings window. Select the
Expert tab, and then select Booting.

2 The Boot Loader Settings window appears.
3 Select the Boot Loader Installation tab and then select Boot Loader
