katzj, weren't you testing something similar yesterday? Worked around in CVS, work-around is to use expert mode as expert mode lets you install to removable media. Err... let me make that a little bit more clear since that only makes very murky sense to me :) Workaround committed to CVS so that isys won't think that they're removable. You can work around the problem without the changed code by using expert mode. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0; NTC User) Description of problem: The aacraid driver reports its logical drives as removable media. Anaconda won't install to removable media. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do an install of roswell onto an adaptec 5400S raid controller. 2. 3. Actual Results: Anacoda reports no installable boot device. Cannot run fdisk or druid from anaconda. fdisk works fine from shell. Expected Results: Should have listed aacraid devices as installable devices. Additional info: A check was put into anaconda in isys/isys.c in the function doIsScsiRemovable() to work around the fact that adaptec aac raid controllers report the drives as being removable media. The check was specific to DELL and HP branded controllers. Now there is an Adaptec branded controller as well. The inquiry string returned is: Vendor: ADAPTEC Model: Adaptec xxxxxx The code needs to make the same check for the string "ADAPTEC".
