Install FC2, FC3, or FC4 (i386) on HP Netserver LPr (See above description) 2. 3. Actual results: HDDs not accessable for partitioning. Installation unable to proceed. Expected results: SCSI HDDs recognised. SCSI HDDs can be partitioned and install to proceed as per normal Additional info: Reproducable. Blocks install. SCSI HDDs detected by RH 9 installer (SMP) SCSI HDDs NOT detected with FC2/FC3/FC4/CentOS & Debian 3.1 same error I am happy to perform test installations to resolve this problem cgtueno.au Regards Chris
Does FC5test1 (or 2 in a few days) work ? We don't respin ISOs after release, so you're pretty much out of luck wrt making the older releases work.

Will take me a couple of days to organise, and I will post the results here. Regards Chris
Where can I obtain a FC5test set of ISOs ? I checked the site but there are no FC5s posted Could you post a link here ? Alternatively you can email me a link at cgtueno.au Regards Chris
pick a mirror near you from.. http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html It appears that not all of them are carrying test2 yet (it's labelled '4.91') Here's .us mirror that definitly has it.. http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/4.91/ alternatively, there's bittorrent seeds at http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) 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_REPORTER 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.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. Thank you.
6th February 2006 Hi I've had a set of Fedora 5 test 2 CDs downloaded. A trail install on Sunday 05/02/2006 has revealed CD media problems, and I'm arranging for another set to be burned. I would appreciate it if this bug remains live since it is a show stopper. I'll post the results of the Fedora 5 Test 2 test install ASAP. Regards Chris
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you.
Please check the adapter BIOS, and see if the board is in "i2o" emulation, or "mass storage" emulation. Select the latter for use with Linux. Is there any version of the OS where this worked? Please post dmesg or /var/log/messages showing the failure.
26th September 2006 Hi Will attempts an FC5 install, will inspect the SCSI controller BIOS as advised. As documented above have tried FC2/3/4 with identical failures. Currently running Red Hat 9 SMP ok on this box. Will post results. Chris
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.
(this is a mass-close to kernel bugs in NEEDINFO state) As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug. If you believe that this bug was closed in error, please feel free to reopen this bug.
