Table 8 Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant Known Issues

Bug ID	Description
6835303	Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant Does Not Work Correctly When Installing an ISO Image of the Red Hat Operating System Using NFS
	Issue: If you elect to install the Red Hat operating system from an ISO image that is exported using a network file system (NFS) server, profiles for the Red Hat installation will not be propagated to the installation. This will result in the following behavior: Anaconda will prompt the user for the installation type (desktop, client, server, or minimal). Individual packages will not be pre-selected based on the installation type, and the user will have to select these manually.
	Affected operating systems and software: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.x and 5.x Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1
	Workaround: When using Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant to install the Red Hat operating system, do not use an ISO image exported using NFS.
6805366	AHCI Device Driver Is Not Installed if Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant Is Used to Install Windows Server 2003 to RAID
	Issue: If you are installing to an LSI or Sun StorageTek Raid HBA, Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant might not automatically install the AHCI device driver for Windows 2003 installations. Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant will copy the AHCI device driver to disk (install target) but you might need to install this driver using Windows Device Manager.
	Affected operating systems and software: Windows Server 2003 Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1
	Workaround: Any of the following is an acceptable workaround for this issue: Use Windows Device Manager to install the AHCI device driver that was copied to disk (install target). For instructions for using Device Manager to update or install device drivers, refer to the Windows Device Manager documentation. Restart the Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant installation, and accept the automatic Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant updates when presented with the option. Download the latest Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant CD image for this platform from the My Oracle Support web site at https://support.oracle.com . Then, restart the installation.
6864864	Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant Will Cause Kudzu to Be Run for Red Hat 4.7 64-bit Installations With Emulex Cards
	Issue: When an installed system is booting for the first time, Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant unintentionally causes Kudzu, a Red Hat hardware configuration utility, to be run for Red Hat 4.7 64-bit installations with Emulex cards.
	Affected operating systems and software: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 64-bit Supplemental Releases 2.1 through 2.8.1
	Workaround: Configure the Emulex cards through the Kudzu interface.
