From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20040323 Galeon/1.3.7 Description of problem: I have two hard drives in this machine. hda has one NTFS partition on it and Windows 2000. hdc previously had one small swap partition and a large ext3 partition with Redhat 9 on it. Anaconda detected redhat 9, asked me to upgrade. I told it to do a fresh install. I then went into disk druid, and only hdc showed up in the drives list (I verified, this is not the case with the redhat 9 anaconda). Beyond that, if I just tell it to format the old ext3 partition and move on, when it gets to grub configuration, it won't let me either put in hda as a boot target or install grub to hda. Considering hda is the boot drive, this means that grub won't actually be useful at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a machine with a previous linux installation on hdc and a non linux OS on hda 2. Start an install and don't upgrade Actual Results: hda is unavailable in either grub config or disk druid. Expected Results: I should be able to access hda from grub config or disk druid. Additional info: In case this is a motherboard chipset issue (I haven't tried this on other machines), this was using the onboard ATA controller of the MSI Master2Far (a dual opteron VIA K8T800 based board).
