Reassigned to kernel.

Comment 2 IBM Bug Proxy 2008-10-30 11:11:05 UTC
Redhat Team,
Any updates here..
Thanks, Supriya

Comment 3 IBM Bug Proxy 2008-11-11 12:50:36 UTC
Redhat Team,

This issue is not reproducible in Fedora 10 Preview release. Is this fixed?

Thanks
Pavan

Comment 4 IBM Bug Proxy 2008-11-18 20:30:33 UTC
Discussed with Pavan. Since the issue is not recreatable in Fedora 10 preview release, closing this as 'Unreproducible' for now. Will reopen this issue incase the problem re-appears in any later release.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 03:52:30 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 6 François Cami 2009-02-06 00:09:32 UTC
Thank you for the bug report. This particular bug was fixed and a update package
was published for download. Please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

You can obtain the updated package by typing 'yum update <package>' or using the
graphical updater, Software Update.

Comment 7 Martin Banas 2009-08-28 13:42:13 UTC
I have found this issue on rawhide-20090825 on PPC.


Version of components:

rawhide-20090825
anaconda-12.16-1.fc12.ppc
PPC


Steps to reproduce:

1. Start the instalation of rawhide on PPC.
2. Proceed to partitioning dialog.
3. Select "Create custom layout".
4. Create
   /dev/sda1   PXEBoot          8MB       none
   /dev/sda2      ext3          200MB     /boot
   /dev/sda3   software RAID    4000MB    none
   extended
     /dev/sda5 software RAID    4000MB    none
     /dev/sda6 swap             2000MB    swap

  Then create RAID0 device with ext3 filesystem and / mount point

5. finish the instalation selecting default packages and reboot the system.

Result: Phyp-dump not supported on this hardware

Expected result: system can boot.

boot log from the machine

Comment 10 iarly selbir 2009-09-02 18:44:12 UTC
Two things I noted when installing f12a

1 - I wasn't asked about custom partition layout, I guess the installation selected and created a default partition layout

2 - After install it booted until the "Phyp-dump***" message

My machine is a IBM p5 550

Anything to help to big it, I'm available.

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 09:30:34 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 11:45:23 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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 '12'.

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 12'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 12 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

Comment 14 Bug Zapper 2010-12-05 07:07:22 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.
