Description of problem: We build a floppy driverdisk for FC10 to load drive before install OS FC10. The driver in floppy driverdisk can't be loaded successfully with FC10. We also tried to build a driverdisk for OS FC7 and FC7 can load driver from floppy driverdisk successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.4.0.82-1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from FC10 installation CD/DVD 2. When OS install menu appears, press button "tab" to keyin parameter 3. Keyin parameter "dd" to load driver from driverdisk and press "Enter" to continue install FC10 4. System appears "Do you have a driver disk?" message box and answer "Yes" 5. System appears "Insert your driver disk into /dev/fd0 and press OK to continue" message box and answer "OK" 6. System appears "Reading driver disk..." message box and wait 7. System appears "Do you wish to load any more driver disks?" message box 8. Press button "Ctrl+Alt+F3" or "Ctrl+Alt+F4" to check driver loaded from driverdisk successfully. Actual results: anaconda with FC10 can't load driver from driverdisk successfully. Note: We tried the same method to build a floppy driverdisk for FC7. driverdisk of FC7 can load driver from floppy successfully. (FC7 modules.cgz content: 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7\i586\pata_via.ko) Expected results: anaconda with FC10 can load driver from driverdisk.

According to my testing, mounting the DD and copying the contents into our ramdisk works OK. Now.. let me try the modules recognition and loading, I'll be back as soon as I get any results. But you can also help me with testing. Load the driver disk as usual and give me the contents of mod* files in /tmp/DD-0 and the /etc/modprobe.d/anaconda file from your machine during instalation.
I tried to load driverdisk upon FC10 and got following result.

Is this still an issue for f12 alpha or later?
Joel, we are changing the driver disc format for F12. So it makes no sense testing it now. I'll update the bug when we have something to show.
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
Probably worth checking this one out now that the new driver disk stuff is in.
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
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.
