I'm attempting to install FC4 on a server with a Rocketraid card and 4 SATA drives attached. I already went through the controller card BIOS and configured the drives for RAID5 so that's set. I'm loading the drivers for the RAID card prior to starting the installation of FC4 as well. After I load the drivers and start to do the install for FC4 and I choose to automatically partition, it shows the SDA raid array along with its size correctly, however it also shows two IDE drives (hde and hdk) that I don't think should be there. I went ahead and ignored that and proceeded with the install and it completed without a problem. However, when I try to boot FC4 I get an error saying "hde: device not ready for command" for both hde and hdk. Should these devices not be showing up on the partition portion of the install? If not, why are they?

Thanks.

Instead of auto partitioning do it by hand and
the HDE and HDK is strange but this could be the CDROM/DVD drives.
So during the boot of the install Media Fedora you can switch to another tty and check
what this is. Btw. If you are sure that you don't need those IDE devices shut down the controller within your bios setup.

Oddly enough the HDE and HDK devices are hard drives that are part of the RAID array. That's the strange part, those are 2 of the 4 drives in the array, yet they're showing up individually IN ADDITION to showing up in the array.

get known with the mdcreate and mdstat commands to figure that out.
