I forgot to mention, in the old install, the raid0 was /dev/md0. When I added the raid1 in disk druid, it showed up as 'Raid device 1', which I'm assuming is /dev/md1. *** Bug 231453 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm attaching a patch to this bug for my future reference to fix this bug for an update release of RHEL4. We just need to be smarter with our use of device nodes for probing the RAID superblocks. Created attachment 151154 [details]

You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2007-0816.html Hi. This is still broken in the anaconda distributed with 64-bit RHEL4.6 sorry, would appear to be 4AS-7, judging from the redhat-release-4AS-7.x86_64.rpm on the dvd. Dave, can you post your steps to reproduce? This issue has been fixed in the past release. There are quite a few issues with the message "ValueError: md0 is already in the mdList!" and you may be hitting a totally different one. Please provide steps to reproduce and the exact anaconda/RHEL version if possible. Thanks. *** Bug 149796 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 313522 [details]

Steps to reproduce are as follows: 1. Setup for a nfs kickstart install - added a couple of my own rpms (not replacing any of the redhat ones) and rebuild the comps.xml and hdlist 2. Use the attached kickstart file 3. Do the install by booting off of first CD/DVD, and giving an option of linux ks=nfs:nfsserver.domain:/install/rhel4_64/kickstart.ks 4. Decide to reinstall by rebooting the machine off of the CD/DVD and re-pointing it at the kickstart file as in step 3 5. During the partition formatting stage, the above error pops up I can work around the error by rebooting into rescue mode from the install cd and doing a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1" and then trying the intsall again, at which point the installer acts as if the disk is not formatted at all. Redhat 4 Release 7, 64-bit (haven't tested the 32-bit installer on that version) with whatever anaconda is included on that dvd... don't see how to get the anaconda version out of the miniroot |
