From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; PCM_03a) Description of problem: When the installation process gets to the point I should choose which partition to install to, the program says that hde (IBM Djna 370910 drive on a HPT366 controller integrated on a Abit BP6 motherboard) partition table is corrupted and unreadable. Invoking fdisk an checking the drive proves the PT is correct. In no way the installer lets me access the hde drive. Note that installing RH 7.1 gave no problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go through installation process until partition choice is requested 2. Invoke Disk Druid 3. Error shows up Actual Results: Installer does not recognize hde suggesting a complete rewrite (with data loss) of the partition table Expected Results: Access to hde and choice of the / partition on hde Additional info:
1) make a dos formatted floppy 2) go to Alt+F2 3) type: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 4) type: mknod /tmp/hde 5) type: echo -e "x\np\nq" | fdisk > /mnt/floppy/fdisk.out 6) type: dd if=/dev/hde of=/mnt/floppy/bs bs=512 count=1 7) umout /mnt/floppy Attach those files to the bug report, first one as text, the second one as binary.
