Description of problem: when installing FC10 with kickstart with raid software raid, after the installation the system do not start. it freeze during boot when just afte displaying "mdmonitor". Server used = Dell PowerEdge 860 with 2 Hard drive in SATA (sda and sdb) I have found a way to bypass this problem, - boot in single-user mode - write a file on the disk - reboot the server and the system reboot correctly! But it can be done only if physical access to the server, and I use kickstart to install server with PXE remotly (we have 2 server in every countries). The kickstart file was OK with FC4 and FC6 and do not work anymore with FC10 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tested with "FC10 DVD" and "FC10-unity 20090414" How reproducible: install with this kickstart file ! Steps to Reproduce: 1. install with kickstart file 2. see that it is not booting properly Actual results: / Expected results: to be able to install and server to reboot !!!

Is this better with F11? There's been major storage rewriting done since F10 was released so it's likely your bug is fixed.
problem seens to be resolved with FC11... is the actual downloadable (downloaded today version a release candidate? will it be a lot of change since the 9 of june ?
Today's version is probably pretty close to the RC, if not identical. Not much should have changed over the past couple days. Glad it's working for you now. Thanks for testing.
