Description Arjan van de Ven 2000-09-29 20:56:19 UTC 
This is not really Red Hat's fault. I used the installer disk with ATA100
support (see freshmeat)
to use the Promise Fasttrak66 raid card in our toy-server. The person who
made this disk
forgot to enable RAID in the kernel, and as a consequence the
installation-script aborted
with a Python error when attemting to mount the just-created raid
partition. 

Although I fully realize this is not a Red Hat bug and totally my problem,
I think it would be 
a nice tough if a failure to mount the raid partition would not crash the
installer.

Added to feature list.
Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-04 16:38:34 UTC 
Could you give us the traceback that occurred?
Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2000-10-04 16:45:56 UTC 
Not right now. It occured while installing RH7 at a server at work, which is now
operational. Once someone sells RH7 in the Netherlands, I'll reproduce it on one
of my test-boxes and give the backtrace.

Pretty close to bug 17932, marking as duplicate request.
