From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 Description of problem: I'm currently running Fedora Core 2 on a Serial ATA hd, and I wished to upgrade to FC3t2. I own a computer with a SATA Raid by Silicon Image on motherboard (my computer specifications appear below). Unfortunately during boot up, my installation stops after loading SATA_SIL module. On the screen, after the dialog box "Loding SATA_SIL", some garbage characters appear (like "#@$%@$^GAWE#" or something similar ) an nothing else... I'm able to change sceen by pressing Alt+F3 or F4 to see debug messages, but the installation won't run any longer. I kindly appreciate any kind of suggestion .. Thanks in advance.

Actual Results: The installation stop.. only CTRL-ALT-DEL can reboot the system Expected Results: during boot (but before probing hardware), my sata hd (in my case hde) is not detected by the system, while FC2 installation got it from the beginning.. The expected result is to detect the hd and continue the installation or update. Additional info: I think to have explained al the necessary information/

Exact same problem here. I'm trying to install FC3 from DVD onto a computer with no hard drives except for one attached to a Sil 3112-based PCI card. The install gets to "Loading sata_sil driver..." and then prints "Disabling IRQ #12" after the dots in white on blue type and hangs. The system isn't hosed as I still toggle the numlock LED but the install is dead in the water and does not continue.

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
I seriously think this is a duplicate of bug #128180 even though the original poster's error message symptom showed garbage instead of the normal "Disabling IRQ #5". As per 128180, this bug still exists as of July 15 2005 rawhide boot.iso install attempt, and other bugs show it still exists in FC4.

The problem is unchanged until kernel version 2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 in my system. I could install FC4 in my system anyway, by disabling SATA, installing everything on a PATA disk, compiling a custom kernel enabling old libata in the kernel, and transferring back everything on a SATA disk.
