Help: F11 anaconda doesn't see my hard drives

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:11:13 -0700

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.


WTF?


This is a 64 bit machine. I have another machine 32 bit machine with no 
IDE drives, two SCSI drives connected to an AIC-7902B, also in a RAID-1 
configuration, and I had no problems whatsoever upgrading that one to F11.
