Installation Proxmox VE 3 fails with "cant mount sda2"

[aa-hh]

Hello i downloaded the iso image and try to install on the following configuration:

HP G6 DL160 / Dual Xeon E5520 / P410 Raidcontroller / 4*2TB WD RED RAID5 ~6TB space / ~100GB RAM.

During the installation "creating data filesystem" hangs on 23% then it starts over (the creating data filesystem part) goes to 23% again and fails.
After i get a "cant mount sda1 or sda2" press ctrl-alt-F2 error.
Formated HDDs.
Created RAID 5 with 3 HDDs.
Deleted logical volume.
Created new volume.

I try to install on 1 HD (WD RED 2TB) and get same error.

ESXI runs fine and have a licence for it, xen is running fine too.
Maybe someone can help me.






Before installation linux ext4 and its ok right now.

First, that controller looks probably good in Debian (which proxmox is based off of) : http://wiki.debian.org/HP/ProLiant


Second, some basics:

a) When you try to install to one disk, do you set it up as JBOD, or RAID1, or RAID0, or what?

b) What installation method are you using, ISO through ILO, USB, CD/DVD, what?

c) Have you tried updating the firmware for the controller/bios on the motherboard, etc?

d) Have you tried Proxmox VE 2.3 just for testing?


Third, have you considered installing to a USB stick? You can have it external, or internal ( http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13247_na/13247_na.pdf page 5, search text " NOTE: In order to connect a USB device internally, the internal USB Cable G6Kit must be used (536769-B21) ").

I boot my home proxmox nodes all from USB. I had to add "rootdelay=20" to the grub launch flags, but I don't think that's required in all cases.


Fourth, can you try actually installing just basic Debian in the same manners? This could help isolate the problem.
