[Bug 55138] Re: Dell 2950 w/ PERC 5i/Integrated, seeing RAID'd HDD's

The reason it's a problem is because it's not consistent with the bios.
It's also not consistent with itself. I have a 2950 here with 6 drives,
all of which are in a RAID 10 volume.

So far, the dapper installer has presented me with:
1 drive (RAID volume only)
3 drives (2 physical drives + 1 RAID volume)
7 drives (6 physical drives + 1 RAID volume)

The BIOS sees the RAID volume as (hd0), but the driver is seeing it
as (hd6) and putting a broken grub config on it. The one time it booted
and saw just 1 drive, it worked properly.

This is fixed in other kernels. SUSE don't have the problem, and it seemed
to be okay in edgy, even though the installer was broken.
