Description Justin 2008-03-27 01:52:47 UTC

Description of problem:
After booting the Fedora 9 Beta (x86_64) install DVD, selecting English, and 
selecting US keyboard, the Anaconda installer fails to recognize my disks and 
halts.  I have 2 IDE disks attached to my High Point RocketRAID 100 PCI card 
in a RAID 0 configuration.  I have had mixed luck with other distributions 
recognizing the disks whether configured in RAID 0 or not, but none so far has 
successfully allowed read and write.  Other noteable components include a GA-
P35-DS4 (rev. 2) mainboard, a Q6600 processor, and a DVD burner on the 
mainboard's IDE channel.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Behavior noticed in Alpha's and Beta of Fedora 9


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Fedora 9 Beta (x86_64) install DVD
2. Select English, US keyboard
3. Observe failure when attempting to detect disks


Actual results:
Unable to proceed with installation


Expected results:
1. Successful installation with High Point RocketRAID 100 in system
2. Successful installation onto High Point RocketRAID 100 disk
3. Successful installation onto High Point RocketRAID 100 RAID array

I have not been able to successfully load any Fedora distribution since FC6 on
any of my systems that have onboard or card HighPoint controllers.  I have about
a dozen systems that have HighPoint controllers and all of them are stuck at FC6.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 06:55:18 UTC

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 23:53:20 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'.

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 9'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 9 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 to the applicable version.  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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Please move this bug to F11.  It is still an issue.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 10:34:01 UTC

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
