From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-pre2 i686; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215 When installing on a machine with an Advansys 3940UW Scsi adapter all goes fine. If I swap out the UW and swap in an Advansys/Connectcom 3940U2W adapter, the installer complains that there is no valid block device. These units use the same kernel driver. This configuration installs fine when using the Mandrake 8 beta. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.I pull out the Advansys 3940UW SCSI adapter. (My boot device is a IBM SCSI disk.) 2.I insert an Advansys 3940U2W SCSI Adapter (connected to my IBM hard drive) 3.I attempt to install Wolverine. Anaconda fails, claming it cannot find a valid block device. Actual Results: Installation fails. But is I use the older Advansys 3940UW SCSI adapter, Wolverine installs fine. Both of these adapters use the SAME kernel module. Expected Results: Succesful installation My system utilizes an ASUS CUSL2 Motherboard, 1GHz Intel CPU. I can also duplicate this behavior on a production machine at work with the same internal components. As an aside Mandrake beta 8 installs fine. Thanks!
lspci output?
If I do "expert install" and choose Advansys adapter, system does install. The regular installation fails. (Where you just hit enter on startup).This can be a problem for someone installing for the first time. Thanks for all your help!

Will be fixed in kudzu-0.97.5-1, and whatever installer tree is built after that.
