From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Using the install cdrom from the fedora download ftp site. When you boot up everything appears fine until the installer reports it is unable to locate any harddisk on the system.(whatever set to IDE compatible or SATA mode in bios) I have sucessfully installed FreeBSD on the same hardware (by IDE compatible mode , AHCI mode doesn't). The chip set has 2 options in bios for this controller and all appear to have the same result. Those options are SATA, and IDE compatible. I apologize for not having actual things to cut and paste from the installer to this page. if there is any specific information you require I will type it here manually.

Created attachment 124248 [details] dmesg Could not find the HDD(HITACHI T7K250)connected to SATAII port of JMB360
We have updated kernel to 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4, but we could not still find HDD connected to SATAII port of JMB360.
[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.

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.
It's working now , please close issue.
