I've tried to join HP support. First time, they said they don't support Debian lol. I have to send us their website URL to prove them they're supporting Debian... I'm waiting for an answer from the support if they know that problem. It seems that in amd64 and HP servers, install steps are not in the same order. In fact The cciss is loaded just before partman starts (installing scsci-modules and scsi-extra-modules) not at kernel boot. In preseed file, the line: d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true tells that old LVM configuration have to be erased without prompting. But it doesn't work on my HP server.

But it doesn't work on my HP server. Hi I have done quite a few installs on DL360, Dl785's, but all manual not with pre seed. So I can tell you it works okay - the problem is with the installer. > > Emmanuel > > -- "It'll be hard to articulate." - George W.
