Subject: [gentoo-user] 2006.0 installer quits during partitioning stage (CCISS?)

1 When attempting an install on an HP DL360 with a CCISS SCSI controller the
2 installer quits when attempting the partitioning with the message:
3
4 "The setup program seems to have failed"
5
6 No other info is given.
7
8 I then tried several things to circumvent it, first I partitioned the disk
9 with fdisk prior to starting the installer (which doesn't help) and
10 secondly I made symlinks from the /dev/cciss/c0d0* devices to their
11 /dev/sda* counterparts, which didn't help either.
12
13 I'm willing to do the install manually, but the 2006 manual sadly does not
14 suggest an alternative to using the installer.
15
16 What now?
17
18 TIA
