From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Description of problem: When installing FC6 on a system with an Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card, just before it searches for previous installations, just after selecting language, an unhandled exception occurs. The error has something to do with Python -- as you can see from the log file, with RAID. It does, however, see my card and my three drives. Actually, I also got the same error with an Adaptec 7880. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start the install process 2.Choose default options 3.Use the Adaptec 2940 card Actual Results: I get an unhandled exception. Expected Results: I am asked to select the partition configuration on my SCSI drives.

Booting with 'linux nodmraid' should work around this.

There is a bug where the dmraid stuff just blocks. This bug has not been solved yet and we are still working to fix it. However there is a work around. If you use nodmraid, the installer will ignore/skip the dmraid stuff allowing the install to finish. This is a workaround and does not fix the problem. There is a long list of bugs that are filed against this problem. This bug is one of them. We have decided to close all the related nodmraid bugs and leave just one open that will represent all of the others. So this bug will be duped for this reason. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 409931 ***
