Greetings, Attempting to update FC4 -> FC5 on a VMware guest. (vmware workstation # 5.5.1-19175) From CDs, verified good. My system under FC4 has three drives -- two BusLogic SCSI, and one ide. The IDE drive is detected by the installer, but the SCSI drives are not. Only the IDE drive is given as an option for installation -- FC4 install worked fine. This may be related to Bugzilla # 182298 -- same symptoms. Setting pci=noacpi does not fix my issue, though. Thanks!

The buslogic module isn't exporting any pci ids as supported, so we don't know to load it. If you boot with 'linux noprobe', you should be able to manually load the buslogic driver.
Manually loading the driver with 'linux noprobe' now shows all partitions. Thanks.
buslogic is unmaintained upstream. vmware has an option to emulate either buslogic or mpt fusion. The fusion driver is actively maintained, and should work.
