From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Computer has 440bx, P2 400mhz, 2 scsi controllers: 1. Adaptec 2940 with 1 HP dat drive 2. PM2044UW with 1 Altas 7200rpm 9gb drive When booting RedHat 9, solaris 9, bsd 4.9, all above is visible during install. 9gb drive is available as choice for filesystems on RH9. When installing fedora core 1 and also core 2, the 9gb disk on the PM2044UW is not listed as a disk choice. Following install of core 2, the PM2044UW is visible in /etc/sysconfig/hwconfig, but attached 9gb disk is not visible. SCSI is not being used for boot purposes; install is done to primary IDE master. SCSI config utilities do run at hardware bootup and identify all the scsi devices, listed above. Even after complete core 2 install, 9gb disk cannot be accessed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put install core 2 CD in computer, boot installer in text mode 2. boot and go to disk selection screen 3. repeat with redhat 9 CD - all disks now visible. Expected Results: Core 1/2 install should have shown all disks, like Redhat 9 (solaris, etc.) Can't access 9gb disk even after install completes. Additional info:
Is the aic7xxx module loading? What are the contents of /proc/scsi/scsi?
Yes to aic7xxx. But unlike Fedora 1+2, RH9 loads the eata module also which I understand was unsupported in F1 and missing in F2. Yet as shown below F2 hwconfig list eata as the driver for the PM2044UW so I'm confused.

Sorry I keep writing hwconfig vs hwconf.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
