Comment 2 Edmond 2008-04-28 13:10:31 UTC 
As I continue to debug the problem, I removed the SATA HDDs and install F9
preview again. The system then successfully booted. I connect the SATA HDDs back
to the system and the system continue to function. It looks like something goes
wrong during installation.

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

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2009-02-17 12:54:20 UTC 
The backtrace seen in the attached image is a known problem with how mkinitrd handles dmraid sets, which is fixed in mkinitrd-6.0.78, which will show uop in rawhide soon. Due to invasive nature of the changes fixing this, an update fixing this for F-9 (nor F-10) is not very likely.
