I am experiencing what I suspect is the the same issue running kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4smp. Please have a look at Bug #173631.
I cant install fedora on a DELL 1600Sc poweredge. Older redhat install fine and sees the correct megadriver for the raid array, however redora does at the druid stage when it can see any drives in which to write to. Strange how older code works but newer release doesnt ! AGM
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen or file a new report if you continue to have problems with current Fedora kernels.
