This is still an occurring issue that is preventing my server, which uses a dedicated iSCSI HBA, from being able to successfully boot after a fresh install.

The short of it is as follows:
- OS installs via the dedicated iSCSI HBA
- open-iscsi gets installed, then gets configured to autostart and use the same lun the HBA is using
- open-iscsi takes the lun from the HBA during boot, the system completely locks

There doesn't seem to be a choice given regarding the installation of open-iscsi during the installation for server versions of 14.04.1 or 14.10, it just blindly installs the package and auto-configures it. At the very least there should be an option to prevent open-iscsi from installing or by default install it so it does not start at boot if a dedicated HBA is detected.

The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 810 with a QLogic isp4032-based HBA.
