Description of problem:
I am currently using RH7.3 as a production server.  Runs very well!  I wanted 
to
upgrade this server top RH9.  Upon installation, It will not see any of the 
hard
drives.  It loads the AIC7xxxx and megaraid, but after that, is states it 
cannot
see any hard drives.  

Here is from lspci:

This works great on 7.3.   Is there any "extras" I need to apply?  I tried
"linux nomodprobe", linux apic, and shows the same thing.  Any help would
greatly be 
appreciated.

How reproducible:
Always

Mike do you have this hardware to verify this report with?

Comment 3 Thomas Smith 2003-09-05 01:01:15 UTC
I have the exact same problem but without the SCSI twist and I'm running RH7.2.
I have 4 IDE drives and three RAID partition (md0, md1, md2)--one RAID0, one
RAID1, and one RAID5.

I start the upgrade by booting from a floppy. I choose "linux text". It loads
and tells me it can't detect any valid installations. The RAID drivers appear to
load but the devices don't mount.

I tried the suggestion in Bug 65192 but got many anaconda errors and the
installation halted.

I haven't many problems with Redhat's installation routine so I'm not real
familiar with troubleshooting it. Please let me know if there's any information
I can provide about the install, log files, or whatnot so I can do so.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-10-22 01:36:48 UTC
Can you copy /tmp/syslog and /tmp/anaconda.log from the installer environment to
a floppy and attach them to this bug report?

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-10-05 03:12:43 UTC
Closing due to inactivity.  Please reopen if you have further
information to add from a newer release.
