Hey all, I've got a step, so I thought to keep you informed. I've included some correspondence with highpoint. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, I did not. Now I've done it, and it didn't improve much. After booting with the newly created boot disk, lsmod showed that the hpt37x2 module was not loaded. I manually inserted the module and, again, I could do a cat /proc/scsi/hpt37x2/0. The /dev/sda was still not accessible. Now I noticed that the node did not exist at all, so I created the sda node with: # mknode /dev/sda b 8 0 whereafter I could continue with the installation. I have not installed fedora yet, because the installer would set my old linux in grub, so I'm making some bootdisks etc. first. Which process should create the node /dev/sda, and why doesn't it do that? The boot disk fails to insert the module right away. If I insert the module manually, it warns about the module not being signed.
