Description of problem:
Installer doesn't recognize I have a RH8 installation in /dev/hde6 so it offers
no chance to upgrade.
If I continue with a new installation, when selected manual partition, disk
druid (maybe the installer) shows an error message in a dialog stating it cannot
find any hard disk (I have 2, one in /dev/hde and the other in /dev/hdg, a CDROM
in dev/hda and a ide zip drive in /dev/hdb) and reboots giving no other option.

I had no problems installing in same hardware RH8 and previous 2 betas.

I think the chip is a Fastrack 133, and this is a snippet of dmesg when booting
in RH8

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)

Comment 3 Roberto Bertolusso 2003-01-29 15:48:25 UTC
Yes. The problem was resolved using the disk image. It is installing
right now. 
Thank you
Roberto
