Description of problem: Very slow run of FC7 installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC7 How reproducible: insert DVD with FC7 installer, boot from it, try to upgrade. Actual results: installer just crawls, not runs Expected results: installer should run normally Additional info: I am trying to upgrade from FC6 to FC7 using DVD install disk. After booting from the DVD the installer started loading various drivers. Every driver except pata_via was loaded quickly, for pata_via it took several minutes to load. On Ctrl+Alt+F4 screen I could see that it is waiting for sdb disk to spin. sdb works flawlessly in FC6. (it is actually part of RAID1 md) This is probably related to various pata bugs reported against FC7, such as 242295.
Couple of screenshots.. first was taken during 'Loading sata_via' message was displayed on 1st console, second when 'Running Anaconda..' message was displayed on the console.

Correction: in comment #1 I have meant pata_via, not sata via.
I have just resettled the cables and all seems to be working now. Sorry for false alarm.
