This error occured while trying to install Fedora 15 x64 on a raid 5 disc system. The motherboard is a ASUS P5N-d and the raid bios is a NVIDIA chip.
The raid is maid of 3 1.5Tb Western Digital. Windows 7 is already installed on it with the 2Tb limit on NTFS. The goal of it is to install Fedora on dual boot.
The last two lines in your system log indicate that your raid array uses level 45 and that support for that level is absent: device-mapper: table: 253:0: raid45: unknown target type device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table As an aside, if you want to create filesystems that start at or beyond 2TB I hope you used a GPT disklabel (aka partition table) since older msdos/mbr disklabels do not allow partitions to start beyond 2TB. I'm inclined to close this bug, but I want to first verify that we do not support nvidia raid45.
This appears to be the same root cause as bug 533703 (searching for "fedora raid45 nvidia" on google points there, even) but it gives no indication as to whether it was ever fixed or not. It may be worth prodding the owner of that one on its status. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 533703 ***
