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.

Below is more hardware specs

MB : ASROCK 939 DUAL SATA 2
Harddisk : Hitachi T7K250 250GB
SATA II Controller : JMB360 (set to IDE compatible mode from BIOS)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert latest fedora core 4 bootable cdrom
2.turn on power
3.run installer until prompt no hdd found
  

Actual Results:  message will appear stating no HDs are found and it will offer
an option to select the driver from a list


Expected Results:  It should see the available HDs and allow the use of diskdruid
