Description of problem: see summary for description of problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora 10 lived cd (on trying to install to disk) don't know the version of anaconda, the stack trace doesn't say. downloaded fedora this past week, if that is any help How reproducible: every time I try to install Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to install live CD to disk Actual results: 1) Install fails, 2) user installs xp :-p Expected results: working Linux installation Additional info: getting frustrated with poor onboard raid support have tried with onboard raid support disabled (sata disks only... LIKE THIS TIME) and with onboard raid enabled... NEITHER works.

Are you still seeing this problem with one of the F11 test releases? We've done some major work to the storage code, including RAID, so there's a good chance we've fixed this up for you.
I did finally get this to install on F10, but I will be building a new machine in the next couple weeks. I will try to install on F11 for you if you would like. But I don't have the cycles for probably 9 or 10 more days... i.e. weekend after next. Let me know if you want me to do so. I'll leave it up to you if you want to leave this open till I check it out. Sorry, I knew I missed something when I got this installed... updating this bug was it. Apologies.
If you continue to see this problem on F11, please feel free to either reopen this bug or create a new one. I know there have been a variety of device-mapper error messages lately but it's hard to tell whether you're seeing the same one or not.
