Anaconda is barfing when I try to upgrade my existing F10. The machine has
an IDE drive that contains a single Windows partitions, and two SCSI drives,
hanging off an Adaptec 29320 HBA, with F10 on both drives in a RAID-1
configuration.

When Anaconda gets to the "checking storage" phase, it spins for a while,
then proceeds immediately to do a new install.

The partitioning screen has only /dev/sda listed, which is the existing
Windows partition. /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, the two SCSI drives, are not
shown. HOWEVER:

When I flip over to ALT-F2, "fdisk /dev/sdb" and "fdisk /dev/sdc" read the
partition table of the two SCSI drives. So, what I have is:

1) The kernel sees the SCSI drives

2) On some other ALT-F screen I see all the soothing messages from the md
subsystem concerning registering various md personalities.

However,

3) mdadm isn't running

4) Anaconda sees neither the softraid partitions, nor the actual underlying
/dev/sd? devices at all.


You may want to bugzilla this.  Anaconda had all sorts of storage
changes during f11 and had numerous problems.  I believe it was (one
of?) the reasons that F11 slipped.  A few days before the f11 release
anaconda was trying to resize one of my partitions that wasn't even
being used in the install.

I had a major problem with installing on a system with Raid partitions as well,
due to my use of a kickstart install. This is noted in the Install notes
I know.

Will a "fixed" anaconda package be release soon to fix these issues so we can
roll our own "fixed" F11 ?
