Description of problem: When doing a kickstart install of rawhide on an rx2660, anaconda attempts to use a nonexistent logical drive on a SmartArray P400. # cat /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0 cciss0: HP Smart Array P400 Controller Board ID: 0x3234103c Firmware Version: 4.12 IRQ: 61 Logical drives: 0 Current Q depth: 0 Current # commands on controller: 0 Max Q depth since init: 1 Max # commands on controller since init: 1 Max SG entries since init: 1 Sequential access devices: 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # uname -a Linux med1-ofs.lionc.test 2.6.25-1.fc9.ia64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 20 07:00:15 EDT 2008 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a Proliant or Integrity server with any SmartArray card 2. Remove all logical drives from the SmartArray when the system boots 3. Use the attached kickstart file to install on a SAS drive 4. Witness the attached warning messages Actual results: Lots of warning messages about not being able to use the drive that doesn't exist. Expected results: SmartArrays without any logical drives should be ignored. Additional info: RHEL4 and RHEL5 handle this properly.

I'm guessing hal is showing the drive as there? (Look in lshal)
Here are the entries on a system with multiple cciss devices. The first device (c0d0) is for a card without any logical drives.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
