Hardware Settings: DL320 SCSI (04/11/01) > 18.2GB SCSI HDD Compaq 64 bit/66 Mhz Wide Ultra 3 SCSI (2.52.1) > StorageWork > 9.1 GB SCSI HDD Software: Redhat Fairfax Beta 1 Steps to duplicate: 1. Choose custom system install 2. Manually partition with Disk Druid 3. Get message : Unable to open /tmp/sda - unrecognize disk label. > Click Next - see only harddrive from 1 controller. 4. Installer Autopartition option ALSO seems to recognize only hard drive from 1 controller. Workaround: Choose Manually Partition with fdisk - recognize drives from both controllers. More NOTES: After partitioning a disk with fdisk, Disk druid does not recognize partition type on second partition - It pops up "You cannot edit partitions without a filesystem type" error message. If there are /boot(/tmp/sda1) and /root(/tmp/sda2) partitions made, installation fails because installer does not recognize /root partition type.
beta1 only displayed drives with valid partition tables. Did you have a sda (which disk druid couldn't understand the partition table) and a sdb that showed up? If so, this is fixed in beta2, as you will have the chance to make a fresh partition table on disks that have no valid table. The second problem is probably that the filesystem was dirty on your /boot partition. Disk Druid would refuse to see these as ext2. This is also fixed in beta2.
