Re: fc12 installer fails with Gigabyte GA-EP45 SATA RAID 1
I am trying to install fc12 i386 on a PC based on the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard with SATA RAID. It is an Intel chipset. I am using RAID 1 (mirror).I have installed fc8 and fc11 successfully on this hardware, but with fc12 on various attempts I either get that the installer does not recognise the raid array or, when it did attempt to install, it took an inordinate time to install the packages then, once the system was installed and running, thefile systems froze during the transfer of a large set of files. Has anyone else experienced these problems with this hardware (or similar) and if so, do they have a remedy? Or do I just have to wait for a new Fedora release? I would go back to fc11 but it has all sorts of problems with monitor settings - at least with my monitor. So I am back on fc8 in the interim. When it tried to install, was it installing on the raid? If you are using a live CD, check whether dmraid is installed. If it isn't, install it and activate the sata raid before the install. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Re: fc12 installer fails with Gigabyte GA-EP45 SATA RAID 1
Hi Suvayu, Thanks for that. You are right that it is not true RAID, but it worked with fc8 and fc11 and I expected it to work with fc12 too. I have looked briefly at software RAID but did not pursue it. I shall look at it again when I have a moment but in the mean time, if there is a solution for the RAID controller I have it would be good.

They are called fake RAID or BIOS RAID, which is a form of software RAID. Under these circumstances wouldn't it be better if you were to use software RAID built into linux? Try `man mdadm' for more details. I believe the only situation these RAID controllers are worth the trouble is when you have a dual boot system where the other OS doesn't recognize Linux software RAID *cough M$ cough* .

But like you the last time I tried these on-board RAID controllers was with F8. Sorry couldn't be of much help. Cheers, Chris -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
