Ok, new updated - did what you said, didnt solve the issue. Stil same while using just dd: With /dev/sdb - same story, wipefs -a /dev/sdb, then dd of image produces same result in fdisk. So my next idea is to take this disks out of this machine and replace them with brand new drives, maybe since they previously was RAID drives in this server before i've installed HBA card instead of RAID their firmware holds some data? |

Strange… |
Hello, this looks like a hardware issue, as it seems that the data is not actually synced but the controller says it was synced (otherwise the dd would have failed). Maybe you can try to cleanup the partitions from /dev/sda with fdisk, then create a new partition, format with mkfs.ext4, mount it, write something on it like a file and see if it works and it s also reboot verified that the data was actually written. If it works, you can exclude a hardware issue. |

If the above works, I would also suggest a zero clean of the device: |
Tried just wget of stable 3510.2.8 and dd it to drive - still same issue getting PMBR and dos partition. |
Tried dd if /dev/zero - same issue. Gonna be getting brand new drives today to see if issue persists. |

While waiting for new drives I've tried installing ubuntu (went perfactly) and then tried hdparm |

Description
I'm trying to install flatcar using pxe boot via typhoon. 2 of 3 servers boots perfectly fine, and join cluster. Dell rx740xd while trying to install it fails. instead of creating multiple partitions in GPT it creates PMBR with only 2 partitions
Impact
Cant bring the cluster up
Environment and steps to reproduce
Partition table entries are not in disk order.
installer.service
Expected behavior
Should install and boot like 2 other servers
