Description of problem: Hardware: Asus A7v333 with Promise's PDC20276 ATA RAID controller onboard turned off When installing, anaconda sees my 2 HDs as a RAID controller despite the fact that RAID is turned off (it'll come up as /dev/mapper/pdc_gghbhhdd), and the two HDs shows up properly as IDE 1 and IDE 2. Installation generally goes fine, but after install, start up will stop just after the BIOS screen, just a blinking cursor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to the installation CD 2. Install Fedora Core 6 3. Reboot Actual results: Blinking cursor Expected results: Boot into the second stage of install Additional info: The problem happens on FC5 and FC6. FC4 will see the two drives just fine, and it installs fine.
This means you turned the RAID BIOS off, but didn't actually remove the raid volumes first. Either do that, or boot the installer with 'nodmraid' on the command line.
