Bug ID 15736312
If one or more Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe HBA (TA-FAS-S31E96GB-N) is added, and
RHEL 5.x or Oracle Linux 5.x is installed without changing the boot order and GRUB boot
loader, then RHEL/Oracle Enterprise Linux will not boot up successfully and the screen will
show "No Active Partition."

card.
