Today Sean Bruno did spake thusly:
I'm having issues with anaconda trying to install on a K8N-DL dual
opteron box with 2 SATA disks.
Under FC5 I was able to configure two disks as a S/W Raid 1 and all was
good. Under FC6 anaconda refuses to allow me install a S/W Raid 1 and
forces me to try to install using the H/W Raid Controllers I have
on-board even though I haven't set up a Raid set on the controllers.
When I enter installer, I am forced to use /dev/mpath/XXX where XXX is
the H/W raid device. I cannot try and use /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and
they are not presented to me as valid devices.
In addition, if I do setup a H/W Raid 1, anaconda detonates when trying
to build the LVM partitions and the file systems prior to executing the
package installs.
This issue is being maintained under
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213738
Any ideas on how to force anaconda to allow me to install a S/W raid 1?
No idea. But I have the same mobo...I just set up the Nvidia HW raid and
it worked fine on that. Why the preference for SW raid over HW raid? I'd
have expected the HW stuff to be faster?
