Disk Device Naming Inconsistent During Installation

In Red Hat Linux 9, during installation, all disk devices are named hdc and hdd.

After the first restart following installation, all disk devices are renamed to their SunPCi names of sundska and sundskb.

Disk Image Installation Must Complete

In Red Hat Linux 9, if the installation process is aborted anytime during installation, the diskimage created will not work.

To fix this issue, you must delete the disk image, and use the Create a New Emulated Drive option to restart the installation process.

Firewall Prevents NIS From Working

In Red Hat Linux 9, NIS does not function after a fresh installation due to the firewall blocking a NIS broadcast reply.

To fix this issue, lower the firewall setting from the default of “High” to a lower setting.

Note – If you choose the “No Firewall” option during installation, you must choose that option again after installation is complete, since Red Hat automatically defaults to the “High” option after installation.

This is a known Linux Red Hat bug and is currently under investigation.

15 Partitions per Disk Allowed

In Red Hat Linux 9, only 15 partitions are allowed per hard disk.
