Created attachment 342023 [details] Anaconda Traceback Description of problem: I tried the Fedora 11 Preview Live CD The installation with anaconda wasn't possible, because it crashed. I included the Traceback. lspci displays the following RAID controller: 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller (rev 02) I also couldn't configure the RAID with dmraid: [root@localhost ~]# dmraid -ay ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" is not in the kernel RAID set "isw_deaadhfccd_Volume" was not activated There is actually no module with the name raid45, but I found a raid456. Is there anything I can do to get the RAID controller working? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.29.1-102.fc11.x86_64 dmraid-1.0.0.rc15-7.fc11.x86_64 anaconda-11.5.0.47-1.x86_64 How reproducible: Create a RAID 5 with 4 disks on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 mainboard (Intel ICH9R RAID controller) Expected results: Anaconda shows one large disk and raid45 is available and loaded as a module

This does not work because dmraid45 support is not yet in the upstream kernel, iow its expected to not work, although I admit the traceback is not pretty.
