From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040213 Description of problem: Just downloaded FC2 test2 and tried to upgrade my Laptop (Sony PCG-SR17K) which already has FC1 installed. The installer runs fine until you have to choose which type of installation method. I tried choosing CDrom or Hard Drive and I get the error "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type". Kernel output when the installation first boots shows that both the hard drive and the CDROM were correctly detected by the kernel. At this point I have not attempted a network install, but it looks like it may be my only method of installing if this bug is not addressed somehow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 test2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot off of CDrom disk 1 2. Choose CDROM or Hard Drive for installation method 3. Actual Results: Produced error "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type" and then asked for a driver. Expected Results: It should of detected my CDROM or Hard drive so I could continue the installation Additional info:
Looking at alt-F2 I got two interesting messages devices[0] is IBM-DJSA-220 - hda using ignore (not loaded) devices[1] is Sony MSC-U01 - sda using ignore (not loaded) I've never seen that before...when does the "ignore (not loaded)" condition arise?
What sort of storage adapter do you have? Stock IDE?
How did you boot?
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 118881 ***
Do you still need this information or do should I enter the data in bug 118881? BTW...the controller is an Intel 82371AB/EB controller (taken from WinXP) I booted it normally....and with "ask method" from the CDrom. I tried both hard drive and CDrom install. The CDROM is a PCMCIA adapted unit.
