Description of problem: Motherboard: ABIT IX38QuadGT SATA Chipset: Intel ICH9R Drive1: SEAGATE Barracuda 320 GB, serial ATA-II Drive2: WD Raptor 150G, sata 2 DVD drives; one ide and one sata During installation proces, when arriving to the point to choose drive to install on it, there are no drives available to select. If i start installation from sata DVD, on the begining it prompts me to insert DVDmedia, when i put DVD media into ide DVD, it continues to the point described above (doesn't see any hard drives) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Start instalation proces from DVD on the system same as described above Steps to Reproduce: 1.just start the instalation 2. 3. Actual results: can't install, sees no hard drive in the system Expected results: can install, sees both hard drives Additional info:
Can you go into the BIOS setup screens and try changing the disk mode?
Yes, i can choose AHCI or IDE, but either one i choose , it's the same. It sees nothing.
Can you capture the boot log from the instller? If you press ctrl-alt-f2 you can get to a shell where you can run the 'dmesg' command, but you will need to find a way of collecting the output.
I have reported bug "455551: No harddrives seen when SATA DVD is in a higher port than a HD.". You have an extremely similar setup to mine, with the same result. I therefore believe my bug is a duplicate of yours, but I have a workaround, and a theory as to the problem. The fix would be to ensure that the SATA optical drive is plugged into SATA port 1, while the HD is plugged into a higher SATA port number (eg. SATA4). I hope this helps you. If not, then the bug report I made is a different issue.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
