From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421 Description of problem: When installing Test3, the i2o device nodes are not created or recognized by Anaconda, resulting in "No Hard Drives Found". However, the i2o subsystem _is_ functional. For example, if I create the device nodes in /tmp: mknod /tmp/i2o/hda b 80 0 mknod /tmp/i2o/hda1 b 80 1 mknod /tmp/i2o/hda2 b 80 2 ..... mknod /tmp/i2o/hda8 b 80 8 I am able to mount my partitions with no problems. Hence, it appears that the i2o block drivers are fully functional, however Anaconda is not creating the correct device entries or is not recognizing the i2o device entries. To be sure, I also tried manual hardware configuration (noprobe) to ensure that it wasn't a conflict involving Anaconda seeing my other SCSI controllers. Sure enough, same problem even when the other SCSI drivers are not loaded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Test3 Installer CD 2. Select standard install 3. Hard drives will not be found Additional info: i2o drivers seem to be working great... The i2o_block drivers definately seem to have some performance improvements over dpt_i2o. Unfortunately, Anaconda won't isntall to them yet!
This is because kudzu can't probe i2o disks.
