Description Sascha Ullmann 2005-08-03 10:44:04 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
Installing Fedora 4 (CD-Installation iso.image) on my System is not a problem, if I use an old IDE-Harddisk. But my Mainboard, a MSI K8N Neo4, supports SATA based on NVidia nforce4 too. When I start the installation of linux on my Samsung SP0812C, there is always a crash during the formating-process. Raid is disabled and i used automatic partitioning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.deactivate raid in the bios
2.booting from cd1 of fedora 4
3.doing the installation-process
4.crash when anaconda is starting to format (sometimes a little bit later on)
  

Actual Results:  An error message

Expected Results:  formatting the harddisk and going on with package-installation
