I've been trying out raw hide today via PXE and using an interactive install. Anaconda bails out. I have 2 sata hard drives. I'm not sure why they are being detected as sda & sdd, I would expect sda & sdb. Find attached anaconda.log. Thanks

sdb and sdc are: <5>scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access VIA-P VT6205-DevB 2.82 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 <5>scsi 0:0:0:1: Direct-Access VIA-P VT6205-DevM 2.82 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 The vt6205 is some kind of card reader controller. Can you try disabling that in the system BIOS?
Thank you for your time with this. vt6205 is a USB media card reader which i have now disabled. I just tried a pxe install with same error. See attached ana2.log.

Hi FYI I have just tried Fedora-11-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso via kickstart. Pre Installation script runs through now, however the following error message is displayed while parsing the kickstart configuration: Specified nonexistent partition sdb1 in partition command. Which refer to: part raid.12 --onpart=sdb1 The previous line to this is: part raid.11 --onpart=sda1 Running fdisk /dev/sdb from [alt] F2 screen confirms /dev/sdb1 with an ID of 83. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi With the attached kickstart file in mind: h-f11-ks.cfg I have tried today's rawhide and have got a little further. The error message now displayed is: Tried to use undefined partition pv.4 in Volume Group specification which refers to the following line in the kickstart file: volgroup sys --pesize=32768 pv.4 Regards
Sounds like your original problem is now solved, and we already have another bug plus patch for your new issue so I'm going to close this one out as resolved. Thanks for the testing.
