It's possible it's being misidentified and "stolen" by multipathd and will need to be explicitly blacklisted. Doing that is easy, but totally non-obvious. This might provide some assistance on configuring the blacklist: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/DM_Multipath/config_file_blacklist.html I think I used that or something really similar to it when I had this problem during Fedora 22 testing (which resulted in some multipathd changes, but hey there are always edge cases). On a MBA it's difficult to get information off of it, because proprietary firmware is needed for wireless. I'm not sure if the mDP/thunderbolt to ethernet adapter needs a driver (?), but if you have one and it works out of the box then you can scp a copy of 'journalctl -b -l -o short-monotonic > journal.txt' to some other computer. Another option is two USB sticks. Another option still is to create the install media USB stick with livecd-iso-to-disk pointed at a *partition* rather than the whole stick. Pre-partition it into two partitions. Format the smaller partition as anything, mkfs.ext4 is fine so is FAT it doesn't matter. And then point l-i-t-d (part of livecd-tools package) to the other partition. While you're at it, you might as all use the --overlay-size-mb option because that's necessary to create a persistent blacklist file to be used at boot time - assuming the blacklist file is even needed. So now you can boot the install media, and you'll have a partition you can mount to capture the journal. Post that file somewhere and we'll see if it suggests multipathd or other confusion. While you're at it, both 'lsblk' and 'blkid' output might be useful also. But really it's whether the kernel sees it, and if so how udev and/or multipathd handled it thereafter. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
