I've had a good number of problems when installing F9 in partitioning
scenarios that are more than just very simple one drive setups.
So I ran a series of tests today and put some results in a bug that I have
opened on these problems:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443451
For example, I have yet to get anaconda/druid to properly install using any
type of RAID setup. Even a very simple, 2 drive setup fails. I can get the
software to install but anaconda cannot seem to install the bootloader
correctly so I either see GRUB or grub> after the Reboot.
And in more complex scenario like using LVM over RAID (which I use all the
time), anaconda gets a whole bunch of Unhandled Exceptions.
These things should be fixed before the F9 final release. F9 needs to be
able to handle all the RAIDed systems out there and right now it
won't be able to do that.
>From reading the bug, it seems to be a rather specific issue with the
kernel and your storage chipset, rather than a general issue. Are there
other AMD 790FX users out there?

I'm sure there are a lot of them but they probably aren't reading this
list.
The 790 chipset is just the latest of the AMD 7-series chipsets and has
been out in the hands of vendors for a good while and the 790 has
generally been
available on m/b since last year.
Once I get Fedora to load and boot the system runs just fine. I don't
see any errors in /var/log/messages and I don't notice any type of drive
problems.
And the fact that I can get the system to install in certain scenarios
tells me that the chipset is probably not the problem.
So why should this chipset be a candidate for being the source of these
install problems when otherwise it operates the drive system just fine?
With anaconda receiving a great deal of changes lately, I suspect the
installer more than this chipset.

Gerry
