Description dtdraganov 2018-09-20 09:12:28 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to install Fedora 28 from live image (from USB), and it constantly gives me this error at the very beginning of the install screen (where I have to choose what language to use diring the installation), so I am unable to continue the install process.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-core-28.22.10-1.fc28.i686

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:

Similar problem has been detected:

From Fedora 28 Live, install Fedora 28 to hard drive. Problem occurs after selecting language and clicking continue.

Motherboard: MSI 890FXA-GD70 (MS-7640) with latest BIOS

SATA set to RAID in BIOS. I have two SSDs set to RAID 0 - Windows 10 is installed here

I have two other non-RAID drives in system. I was going to install Fedora to one of these.

I had to disable IOMMU in BIOS in order to get Fedora Live to load.

Comment 13 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 19:23:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '28'.

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 28 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.

Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.
