Description Wendy Hung 2004-03-29 12:43:30 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; 
H010818)

Description of problem:
Unable to install 2.1 U4 beta0316 on a x306 with SCSI drives (Adaptec 
7901B controller).

Installation works with 2.1 Update 3.
 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 2.1 U4 beta0311 on x306.
2. At Partitioning screen, attempt to setup partitions (using 
automatic patitioning).

    

Actual Results:  "No valid devices were found" message appears.
lsmod does not show the aic79xx driver.  

Expected Results:  Installer loads the aic79xx driver automatically.

Additional info:

This can be worked around by building a device driver disk from CD1 
and using the "linux dd" option on install.   The user can then 
switch to a bash prompt prior to setting up the partions and issue a 
modprobe aic79xxx.  By swapping back to X-windows the install can 
continue normally at this point.

The driver is in the initrd used for CD booting.  What's the output of
lspci and lspci -n?  Also, are you booting from CD or floppy (if you
boot from floppy, you need to boot with linux dd and also supply the
drvblock.img when prompted)?
