Asus p4p800 deluxe BROKEN INSTALL on FC5- FC6-FC7

[Randy Ramsdell]

Ok nice to be right back in the EXACT same position I was in several
years ago regarding this motherboard and installing FC. I think it was
FC3 that this first became an issue, but I was able to work around it
and install FC. So now, I tried to install FC6/7 and I yet to find a way
to get it installed.

So now it has been a year or so without being able to run Fedora/CentOS.
Please help as I really don't want to use Ubunto and especially not Suse.

Anyone have an issue installing on the Asus board?

Trying to install causes a seg fault when dealing with the hard drives
either in BIOS setting compatibility mode or SATA mode. Anaconda shows
the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" or something like that, but as you
know, they should appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. All I ever see is a
single "/dev/mapper" which suggests that Anaconda sees a raid array even
after I fdisk the drives. Of coarse this also rendered the system
unusable after the seg fault resulted in a reboot.
