From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: Boot hangs on root partition check. I have MSI K8T mobo and additional Promise Sata 150TX2+ card installed. During installation of core1 installer finds this card and adds sata_promise -driver to initrd-image. Actually i don't need this driver because i'am istalling core1 on disk which is not connected to this sata-card. Installation went ok. But when i try to boot system, system hangs immediately when it tries to access harddisk. Hangs on "Checking root partition"-line. I worked around this by procedure: 1. I removed Promise Sata 150TX2+ card 2. Booted system (now boot didn't hang.) 3. Created new initrd -image without sata_promise-driver. 4. I placed sata-card back. 5. Now boot went ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a MSI K8T mobo + Promise Sata 150TX2+ 2. Install system on normal PATA-drive 3. Boot ---> Hang Actual Results: Hang Expected Results: Normal boot. Additional info: I have disabled promise & via raid sata controllers on MSI K8T-mobo from bios.
