Had a few attempts at installing F7T2 today, so far none left bootable.<br><br>Machine is Intel S5000PAL with 6x400GB SATA, all disks detected ok, everything wiped from them<br><br>DVD ISO, SHA1sum ok, mediacheck passed.<br>
<br>Essentially all my attempts so far have used partitions of /dev/sd[abc]1 in RAID1 (with or without spare) as /dev/md0 for /boot and <br>remainder of disks partitioned and lumped together in RAID5 /dev/md1 as LVM PV, carved into 4GB VG0/LV0 as swap and 10GB VG0/LV1 as / and oodles of free space left unused in the VG.
<br><br>First attempt I did the mediacheck on install, this passed ok, then ejected DVD, I poked it back and continued, but anaconda said it couldn&#39;t see the Fedora install CD and panicked.<br><br>Second attempt was with Xen, it installed fine, but on reboot the kernel starts up, starts assembling the arrays, mounts root RO, then complains it can&#39;t see /dev/md0 (mdstat confirms) and prompts for root passwd for filesystem recovery.
<br><br>Third attempt without Xen, otherwise essentially the same, I looked a bit closer at the console output and dmesg, seems like there&#39;s no RAID1 personality loaded (missing module in initrd?) get message to do e2fsck -b 8193 to use alternate superblock but I think that&#39;s spurious as the device doesn&#39;t exist.
<br><br>Anyone else similar, I&#39;ll bugzilla this in the morning ...<br><br><br><br>
