Thanks David for pointing out the source of the problem. I added
options libata ignore_hpa=1
to my /etc/modprobe.conf file since I started the yum localupgrade route. I will probably also need to add the line to my rawhide installation though it does not depend upon the disk that is giving errors.

I will probably try out the
boot: linux libata.ignore_hpa=1
using the DVD to attempt installation after the update finishes via yum.

I saw the comment you added to bugzilla before sifting through the 500+ emails from the list.

Thanks,
Jim


That disk geometry error problem was too bad for me to bother pursuing saving that installation. I just removed the later partitions while booted into development using fdisk. I made an extended and two partitions within the extended partition for swap and /. The new system is a mess but all of /home is still intact. There is just now so many programs that need to be reinstalled.

The updated system panicked on reboot and the Rescue mode panicked also.

I don't know if the addition to modprobe or the installer option work or not.

Jim
