Have you used this controller with previous versions of Red Hat Linux? This sounds like more of a kernel issue than an installer issue, though. Ok, I tracked down an ICP Vortex controller in the test lab, and I think I might know what the problem is. Did you create a logical volume in the Vortex's setup utility? If you don't, then the drive is essentially non-existent as a volume as far as the kernel is concerned. I was able to reproduce your problem by hooking up a drive that was not previously arranged in a RAID configuration...the installer couldn't identify it. After using the firmware config tool to create a logical volume on the disk, the installer ran perfectly. Does this solve the problem? Well, I have a logical disk; previously Win2K was installed, and it ran fine. Hmm...can you try using the firmware to remove that logical volume and make a completely new one? I know that shouldn't make a difference, but I can't think of any other reason why the kernel shouldn't see the drive. If that doesn't work, can you press <Ctrl><Alt><F2> while in the installer (before it crashes). Then run the command 'cat /proc/scsi/gdth/0' and see what the results are. Please close this ticket - a co-worker installed SuSE on that box and it works, so I cannot do any test anymore. |
