Looks like a bug in a libblockdev. Changing components.

Comment 14 Thomas C Bailey 2017-07-28 13:56:34 UTC
I don't know whether this will help or not.  I'm trying to install Amahi on an old Dell Precision 470.  The default instructions for assigning the network gateway aren't correct for my system, and I goofed it up a couple times.  I don't know how to correct this without uninstalling, or how to uninstall Amahi and leave Fedora intact, so I did a complete reinstalls of Fedora, and Amahi, twice.  I was on my third reinstall (confident that I would get it right this time) when this error occurred for the first time.  Reformatting the hard drive doesn't help, nor does using the basic graphic mode of installation of Fedora. I have an old licensed copy of Windows XP, and that installs fine.  I'm happy to provide any other details.

Comment 15 Thomas C Bailey 2017-09-09 14:50:16 UTC
I think this might have had something to do with using the Adaptec RAID formatting utility.  I had no good reason to use it.  I just didn't understand the JBOD detection message that I was getting at bootup.  The machine has only one hard drive.  That's probably why.  I remembered that I had done this Adaptec formatting between the second and third attempt at reinstallation of Fedora. I saw that the Fedora error was that it wasn't detecting the hard drive. So, I used a Windows 7 installation disk to format and partition the disk, and then the Fedora installation went fine. I admit that I also did some fumbling with the BIOS utility and boot sequence, but ultimately reset those to defaults, so I don't think that had anything to do with success. I'm don't know why Windows XP had installed OK when Fedora would not, and I don't know what difference Windows 7 partitioning and formatting would have done, but at any rate, my second Amahi HDA is up and running.

Comment 16 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:48:03 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:19:35 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
