Setup on a Dell PE1950 with 6Ri SAS controller

[aberrios]

After almost complete the full installation process an error displays in the 2 console:

Setting up pve-manager (0.9-4)
Fatal: BIOS device code 0x80 is being used by two disks
/dev/sdb (0x0810) and /dev/sda (0x800)
unable to install the boot loader: ERROR at /usr/bin/proxinstall line 541
Removing `diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /sbin/start-stop-daemon distrib by proxmox
umount: /target : device is busy

This happens with 4 disks in either strip or mirroring combinations.

update

Even deleting all raid configuration and leaving the 4 disk, same result.

Workaround for installing in one disk, take the other three offline until finished it.

Know I need to find out how to add this disks space back to PVE resources.

If you got 4 disks, it is best to build a hardware raid10. and the bios only shows one volume to the installer.

Currently Proxmox VE supports only one disk for storing the data, supporting multiple storage (local and remote) is planned for upcoming versions.
