Description of problem:
During installation, the cpqarray module appears to load successfully, but the 
array is not available when partitioning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot CDROM
2.Enter "linux text mem=exactmap mem=640K@0 mem=143M@1M" at boot: prompt 
(system has 144 megs on EISA riser)
3.When prompted with "no available hard drives...", add device, select cpqarray 
module from list and enter "eisa=0x1000" as parameter (array card is in slot 1)
4.Module appears in list of drivers loaded, continue with install
5.At partitioning step, select fdisk or DiskDruid

Actual Results:  Installation dies with a no hard disks error

Expected Results:  Disk array should be available for partitioning

Additional info:

This system already has RH7.2 installed on it.  RH7.3 installation failed 
because of a similar problem loading cpqarray, although in RH7.3 install it was 
obvious (by checking other consoles) the driver failed to load.  RH7.2 
installed without a hitch, but an upgraded kernel (2.4.9-34) would not load 
cpqarray.

Comment 1 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:50 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
