[Bug 548617] Re: Fresh kickstart installation of lucid fails, - asking for ISCSI volumes

Just had a customer with the same problem, except he mentioned that
installation continues normally when he presses "finish"

Making me think that in his case Ubuntu does not wait long enough for raid array detection to finish, after loading the disk controller modules. Ubuntu assumes there are no local disks too fast, and shows the iscsi configuration window.
Is there any easy way to introduce a delay after loading modules?

Title:
  Fresh kickstart installation of lucid fails, - asking for ISCSI
  volumes

Status in “kickseed” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
   I have a fresh download from March 25th - 2010 of Lucid Lynx,
  During kickstart installation it stops in menu:

  !! Partitioning disks
  This menu allows you to configure iSCSI volumes
  iSCSI configuration actions
        Log into iSCSI targets
        Finish
  <Go Back>

  I do not want to use iSCSI devices, but I can not find a way out this
  menu.

  * Selecting "Finish" Sends me straight back to this same menu again.
  * Selecting "Log in..." an then continue without entering any iscsi-config makes a blue screen doing nothing. Ctrl C gets me out of this screen and then present the same menu again.
  * Selecting "Go Back"  sends me to the same blue screen, and so on...

  I Expected the installation to complete without any question at all, like it do with my Lucid download from March 11th - 2010.
