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.

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.

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

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.
Can you copy /tmp/syslog and /tmp/anaconda.log from the installer environment to a floppy and attach them to this bug report?
