Do you have RAID enabled in your BIOS? It sounds like there is existing IDE "fakeraid" metadata on the disks and so we set them up as such. Adding 'nodmraid' to your boot command line should tell the installer not to listen to this information. the BIOS has no RAID option set. Other distributions, as stated specifically Mepis and PCLinuxOS, experienced no issues in assigning correct identification to the drives. There is a bug where the dmraid stuff just blocks. This bug has not been solved yet and we are still working to fix it. However there is a work around. If you use nodmraid, the installer will ignore/skip the dmraid stuff allowing the install to finish. This is a workaround and does not fix the problem. There is a long list of bugs that are filed against this problem. This bug is one of them. We have decided to close all the related nodmraid bugs and leave just one open that will represent all of the others. So this bug will be duped for this reason. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 409931 *** |
