Bug Description
Hardware:
Compaq Proliant DL360 with Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller v 1.50
Install:
Create hardware mirror (2 x hdd) on raid
Ubuntu 6.06 build 20060524.2
Boot server CD
Install in text mode
CD detects volume on compaq raid (I didn't pick LVM install, I think)
Installs okay.
On first boot, fails with:
Uncompressing Linux...Ok, booting the kernel.
[42949376.260000] cpqarray: error sending ID Controller
Then after some time:
ALERT! /dev/ida/c0d0p1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
And get a BusyBox shell

I can confirm this with a Compaq Proliant ML530. It seems to be an issue with how the kernel deals with the Compaq Raid Controllers. Also affects Debian 2.6 kernels.
