Comment 4 for bug 589483

Hi,

I have used that USB disk to build other servers (virtual ones) and it works fine.

This problem is only on HP hardware.

The reason why USB install is required, is because there is no optical drive in this unit.

The default process through the installer does not ask where you want to install MBR, it just
asks if you want to install the MBR onto a device its selected.

I have tried breaking out of the process by saying cancel (or back) and then selecting install grub2 from the menu, and then I can select the /dev/cciss device, but the system is not bootable after the reboot.

The method I use renders my USB key un-bootable as an installer, and is required for the first boot of the server,
after which I run grub-install from the console and all is well.

Slightly off-topic: how do i just restore the boot-loader that usb-creator would put on the USB key without launching the whole usb-creator process again?
