Description of problem: When trying to upgrade from Fedora Core 8 to Fedora Core 9 or installing Fedora Core 9 The anaconda installer cannot see the hard drives connected to the Smart Array 431 in a Compaq Proliant ML350. I chose kernel option noprobe and can add the Smart Array in the installation process, which then finds the existing partitions no problem ( ALT-F2 ) fdisk etc all works ok. Installer then says there is no drives to install to ( and cannot see existing installation to upgrade to ). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Install Fedora Core 9 on ML350 via netinst cd. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Cannot See Hard Drives Expected results: Given the choice to upgrade the existing install. Additional info:
Once you're up in the graphical installer, can you pretty ctrl-alt-f2 and attach the output of lshal to this bug report? Thanks.

Looks to me like HAL isn't recognizing CCISS devices. Do you have the proper modules loaded? You can tell by running lsmod on the command line.
This machine was redployed with Debian 4.0 due to non working fedora 9.
