*** Bug 247631 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is your USB device recognized under F7 if you install using another method? In my testing here with F8 test 1, I am unable to reproduce this. The usb-storage module is loaded, the partitions are discovered, and they show up in anaconda's list. If possible, could you also try with F8 test 1 and see if it works there? Can't speak for the original poster, but I have been unable to install F7 on my server using any method. No matter what medium I try to use, CD, DVD, or USB device, Anaconda does not recognize the drive on which it resides and has just been loaded from itself, to get the rest of the files. Since F6 Anaconda worked fine on the same system, perhaps the problem will be solved for F8, and I will just wait. But it would be nice if we could just use the F6 Anaconda to install F7 files. (In reply to comment #2) > Is your USB device recognized under F7 if you install using another method? I can't say; I gave up after waiting a couple weeks and burned a DVD. My USB drive is recognized outside of install-time of course. > In > my testing here with F8 test 1, I am unable to reproduce this.

I will give it a shot. Unfortunately, I was unable to actually test this, so I do not know if it is still a problem or not. This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. 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 prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 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 please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
