From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925 Description of problem: My system has a Adaptec AHA2940UW. I select to create boot disks however during disk creating it fails cause kernel+initrd+boot loader do not fit in a single 1.44 disk. It would be fine if installer can create a 2 disks to boot system (1 for boot loader+kernel and 1 for initrd). I don't know it this is possible using current sysimage but it's technically possible. I didn't install boot loader on MBR so I had to configure previous installed grub to boot linux. In a dual windows/linux system this can be a big problem for new users... Note also that my system to not have SCSI disks, only cd reader/cd recorded so SCSI drivers are not needed in my system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install RH on a computer with a Adaptec AHA2940 (or with SCSI disk) 2. select to create boot disks Additional info:
This requires syslinux support to be able to happen. The problem becomes more common in 2.6 where the kernel is even closer to filling the floppy.
