Some disk does not show in DiskDruid
Last modified: 2008-01-17 12:49:42 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Only hdb shows in diskdruid during installation, hda and ata-raid is missing. I was planning on installing on hdb anyway but since hda was not available I had to make a boot floppy and install grub manually on hda/MBR after installation. I have tested this 3 times now, same result. Hda shows up fine in 8.0. ASUS CUSL2 mobo, Intel 815 Chipset. acpi=off has no effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installation from CD or net-boot floppy 2. when choosing either Autopatiton or DiskDruid hda is missing. 3. Actual Results: Not able to install os or grub on hda. Expected Results: hda should be available for installation. Additional info: Many people dont know how to fix this... High severity? Or am I the only one with this problem :)
Has your hda disk ever been in an ataraid array? If so this may be a duplicate of Bug 80294. You need to completely remove the ataraid RAID superblock as described in that report or anaconda wont recognize your disk. (Anaconda detection code needs fixing and/or we need a userspace tool to remove that stuff.)
Can you try downloading the update disk image from http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/phoebe-pdcdetect.img and see if it works using it? (Information on using update disks is available from http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/updatedisks.html)
