Can you switch to tty2 (with the rawhide tree) and run `python -c 'import kudzu; print kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_HD, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, 0)'? If that doesn't show anything, could you also grab the /proc/rd/... files from there?
Created attachment 97827 [details] this logfile was made just before startup of anaconda (rawhide Feb-18)
i did it with rawhide feb-18 and got [] back from kudzu.probe, the proc infos are in the attachment above, some more proc files are here: http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/~heinz/fc2t1-dac960problem/
sorry, i forgot to mention this: the fdisk output at the end of the logfile was generated with # cd /tmp # mknod c0d0 b 48 0 # fdisk -l c0d0
Created attachment 98045 [details] this patch fixes kudzu -p on my dac960 based system this patch makes kudzu -p find the harddisks (simple parsing bug) note: i did not test it during install, because i failed to generate the update.img correclty
Created attachment 98117 [details] fixes dac960 detection this patch fixes dac960 (/dev/rd/*) detecting (previous patch hat a bug) using it and updateing "kudzu.pyc" and "_kudzumodule.so" in netstg2.img i was able to install rawhide (2004-02-27) on my Mylex AcceleRAID 170 server!
Thanks, will be in 1.1.47-1.
