From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: During install, i2o module doesn't detect the Adaptec 2010s raid card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.11-1.1286_FC4.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put in cd 1 2. Boot machine 3. Run installer Actual Results: Installer asks me to select drivers because it couldn't find any hard drives. Expected Results: Installer should have automatically detected the raid card and drives. Additional info: This 2010s controller is on a supermicro superserver 6023P-8R. Redhat 8,9,FC1 detects this array just fine using the dpt_i2o driver. FC2, FC3, FC4-test 3 doesn't. Trying to download and insmod i2o_block.ko manually at install doesn't work either.

Just tried this with FC4 release. Results are a bit different. The installer still doesn't detect the adapter. I manually add the i2o_block driver from the list. The installer then hangs at Checking for existing fedora core installs at 0%. Debug information shows: block-osm:/dev/i2o/hda error: Failure communicating to device end-request: I/O error dev i2o/hda block-osm: still remaining chunks
[This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs. If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.] Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update. If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE* installing any kernel updates. If in doubt, you can recreate this file using.. mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak kudzu Thank you.
As this bug deals with new installations, the last comment doesn't apply to this situation.
Any progress with this bug?
Hello, could you load the i2o_block module manually by selecting it from the list? Best regards, Markus Lidel
I can but the console reports a seek error and the installer hangs.
Hello, could you switch to the logging-console? And if yes, is there some error message? Best regards, Markus Lidel
The logging-console is where it reports the drive seek error.
Hello, is there no output from the I2O driver? Something like: i2o: Checking for PCI I2O controllers... Best regards, Markus Lidel
Yes, and I had pen and paper in hand to copy it down, but now all the sudden things are working as expected now. I tried (note all these failed on 2 seperate identical servers before) FC3 disk 1 raid 1 fc1 previous install- worked FC3 disk 1 raid 1 new array - worked FC3 disk 1 raid 5 new array - worked FC3 kickstart raid 5 new array - worked FC4 disk 1 raid 5 new array - worked I just don't get it.. Resolving ticket.
