Description Eric Tenorio 2006-12-05 23:27:45 UTC
Description of problem:

  When attempting to install FC6 on all machines with Adaptec 2100S RAID
controller (I2O), no hard disks are found and install fails.

  NOTE: Install on same machines with FC5 identifies hard disks.

  Exception statements in '/tmp/anaconda.log' indicates I2O drives not found.
    "exception checking disk blacklist on i2o!hda: (2, 'No such file or directory')"
    "exception checking disk blacklist on i2o!hdb: (11, 'Resource temporarily
unavailable')"

   Traced through anaconda python code and found exception messages originate
from file 'isys.py' and method "driveDict(klassArg)"

   Further analysis points to values returned by 'kudzu.probe()' call.
   Call to kudzu.probe() returns device structure which contains three fields,
     'Desc', 'Device' and 'Driver'.

   FC6 install - 'Device' field contains 'i2o!hda' and 'i2o!hdb'
   FC5 install - 'Device' field contains 'i2o/hda' and 'i2o/hdb'

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


How reproducible:

  Reproducible with every install on a machine with Adaptec 2100S RAID Controller.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with FC6 disc 1
2. Attempt install/upgrade
  
Actual results:

  Dialog box indicates that no hard disks were found and installation will not
contiue.

Expected results:

This is fixed in kudzu-1.2.57.3 or later, currently in updates-testing.

I am having the same issue with a current install of FC6 on a dual PIII 1.266
mhz machine with an Adaptec 3210S SCSI RAID card.  I have tried everything I can
think of.  When watching the data in the F3 screen, I see that the device is
detected, and the system sees /dev/i2o/hda and hdb.  After that, the system then
goes to check the media.  After checking the media, I then see the screen pop up
saying that it's loading the i2o_block driver, and anaconda starts.  However,
when it gets to the point where it asks me where to install the software, there
are no drives available to install to.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2007-01-02 03:49:20 UTC
This is fixed in the currently released kudzu updates. However, it would require
respinning the anaconda tree to allow for installs.

Cc'ing anaconda group, as this might be fixable in an updates.img.
