Hello,
after doing some tests on a AMD64 that worked out very well for me and waiting for the target platform I am now not able to install PVE on the target platform at all.
Changing to the console prompt of the installer it tells:
fsdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/sda: unrecognized partition table type
Old situation:
No partitions found
New situation:
Units = blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #blocks Id System

/dev/sda4 0 - 0 0 Empty

Re-reading the partition table ...
If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1)
to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1
(See fdisk(8).)

My target system is a Tyan 2932-E equipped with an Adaptec SAS/SATA controller 31205 in the first PCIe x8 slot, with 12x Seagate 500 GB ES.2 RAID drives, configured as a RAID 50 (2x5) + 2xHS, Block size 256KB.
Wouldn't it be possible to let the user optionally control the size of the needed partitions during install ?
In need to have the system up and running latest by Monday evening.
What would be the best workaround for me ?
Many thanks,
Mike
