Description of problem: When I tried to install FC5, the anaconda started, and after I select languageand keymap,the system showed a error message: Invalid partition table on /dev/mapper/sil_aeacbidcdjea error code ab79 Then if I keep clicking the "ignore" button, the installer will ask me to Erase the entiredisk, which I cirtainly don't want to. Or it will show a unusable partition list, so the install can not go on.... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 final How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: boot from cd1, and follow the lead Actual results: can not find partition , install can not go on Expected results: find partition, install go on Additional info: I am using a ASUS p4p800se motherboard(with a fake raid in ICH5R, but I do NOT use it), and 2 identical SATA hard drive. But I do NOT use any raid. I installed a XP on first disk, and an mac OSX on second. I used the acronis Disk Suit to delete the OSX partition and created an ext3 partition. But I assume this would't be the problem.(?)
Had you ever created a fakeraid? If so, and you haven't deleted the metadata, we still end up trying to read it. Booting with 'linux nodmraid' will make it not be detected
