Looks like you've been hit by the first erratum mentioned on [1]. This is something we're aware of and that we hope to solve for the next release of d-i and at least before Etch is released. > <IMHO> [rant] > </IMHO> If you want to discuss such fundamental kernel design issues, please do it with the upstream kernel developers, not here. For what it's worth, you're wrong in that there's some kind of structural conflict. There is not, just a timing issue that could happen just as easily if you had two different scsi controllers or two different sata controlers in the same box.
