From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Installing FC6 on a dual xeon supermicro with an onboard AIC-79xx plus an ZCR 20xx controlling both SCSI CD/DVDs and a RAID-10 crashes in the early steps if booting from a SCSI CD, as it is recognized until i2o module is mounted and then no more. Opposedly, if booting from an IDE CD/DVD, the partitioning utility does not see any RAID disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. As above in description 2. 3. Actual Results: installation on RAIDs impossible Expected Results: plain RAID installation Additional info: Maybe this is due to different behaviour of i2o module than older dpt_i2o module: on old documentation (Fedora Core 3 release notes.htm)I have found that on i2o modules drives are arranged as /dev/i2o/hd* instead of 'normal' /dev/sd*: "I2O SCSI RAID adapters from manufacturers such as Adaptec now use the i2o_block driver, rather than the dpt_i2o driver used by Fedora Core 1 and earlier distributions. Be aware that block devices used by the i2o_block driver are /dev/i2o/hd* rather than the /dev/sd* SCSI devices. This may be problematic for those upgrading from older distributions that used the dpt_i2o driver. Therefore, after an upgrade to Fedora Core 3, you may need to boot using a rescue disk and edit your /etc/fstab file to use the new devices."
