Attempting to install Fedora 7 Test 1 Desktop (FD-6.90-x86_64-DVD)
using method Local CDROM [DVD] fails to find any drivers for the media,
on x86_64 with nVidia CK804 nForce4 chipset.  The sata_nv driver was
loaded automatically from initrd.

Using HTTP install and Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get a shell, fdisk reads the
partitions correctly on the actual SATA harddrive /dev/sda.
The actual PATA DVD (old /dev/hdc) is not found.
The actual PATA harddrive (old /dev/hda) is not found.

This was reported as  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226912
against Fedora Core, devel version.  Bugzilla had no plain "Fedora" category,
and "Fedora Core" has no "f7..." nor "fc7..." version.
The Release Notes button displays the ones for Fedora Core 6, the
previous version.  The wiki page referenced in the F7 announcement
was displaying static content, and had no "common problems" section or link.
