Description Gilboa Davara 2009-01-19 15:59:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to install Fedora 10/x86_64 on an HP DL585G5 w/ 4 x AMD Opteron 8354.
The installer boots, Anaconda starts and displays the CD-check and the keyboard selection dialog.
Once I finish selecting the keyboard (English / US), Anaconda hangs. (Broken cciss detection?)
AFAICS, it's not a kernel problem - the text consoles are active and responsive and there's nothing in the system/kernel logs.
P.S. Fedora 9's anaconda works just fine.

How reproducible:
Always.

Additional info:

Configuration:
HP DL585G5.
4 x AMD Opteron 8356.
36GB RAM.
8 x 146GB 10K/SAS in RAID5.
1 x PCI-E quad port GbE NIC. (e1000e)
2 x PCI-E single port 10GbE NIC. (ixgbe)

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2009-01-21 14:35:43 UTC 
Right after keyboard selection is disk probing, so it's entirely possible that this is a CCISS-related issue.  We use a thin wrapper around hal and dbus to do this probing, and I do believe there have been hal+CCISS problems in the past.  Let's try reassigning.
Comment 2 Phil 2009-03-19 21:38:23 UTC 
As this issue involves hardware raid and hangs just after keyboard/language selection, just like the nVidia fake raid bug, should this issue be added to the DMRAID master bug #489148??

Are you able to try an installation with the latest Fedora 11 release and updated .img?

1. download and burn latest F11 prerelease
2. boot from media
3. at the selection menu of Install/Upgrade, Boot from local disc etc. press tab to add commands to the end of the "install/upgrade" kernel line
4. add "update=<url below>" without quotes

http://jgranado.fedorapeople.org/storage/testing/19-03-2009-1452-x86_64.img
http://jgranado.fedorapeople.org/storage/testing/19-03-2009-1452-i586.img

5. go through install process

after checking the install media NetworkManager should prompt you to start your NIC so it can download this latest patch.  after that hopefully you should be able to get past language selection and on the partition modification.

If you have any success or issues with this can you please add your experience to the master bug?

Phil,

It's not a fake RAID - it's a real, honest to God, SAS RAID. (HP Smart Array P400).

As for the F11 prerelease - can I somehow download the latest PXEIMAGE (initrd.img & vmlinuz), from somewhere? (I don't have physical access to the machine until mid-next week, but I can remotely manage / install it from home...)

You can find them in the development/i386/os/images/pxeboot on any Fedora mirror.
Comment 5 Gilboa Davara 2009-04-01 19:03:28 UTC 
Anaconda dies a horrible death while trying to install F11/B. [1]
Never the less, it seems the F11 does managed to detect the RAID before committing suicide, so I guess it's progress :)

Comment 6 Scott Glaser 2009-09-09 12:43:24 UTC 
Have you tried with the latest hal package in Fedora 10, Fedora 11 or tried Rawhide? In either case, can you let us know whether the issue is still happening, and give the current version of the HAL packages you're using?

Comment 7 Gilboa Davara 2009-09-10 11:20:16 UTC 
I just installed F11 on this machine. No problems.

Bug can be safely closed.

Thanks!

Comment 8 Scott Glaser 2009-09-10 11:32:46 UTC 
Based on the information in comment 7 I am closing this bug, should you
experience these symptoms again please file a new bug report against the
applicable component.  Thanks for the input.
