Fedora Users — Help: F11 anaconda doesn't see my hard drives

Anaconda is barfing when I try to upgrade my existing F10. The machine hasan IDE drive that contains a single Windows partitions, and two SCSI drives,hanging off an Adaptec 29320 HBA, with F10 on both drives in a RAID-1configuration.

When Anaconda gets to the "checking storage" phase, it spins for a while,then proceeds immediately to do a new install.

The partitioning screen has only /dev/sda listed, which is the existingWindows partition. /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, the two SCSI drives, are notshown. HOWEVER:

When I flip over to ALT-F2, "fdisk /dev/sdb" and "fdisk /dev/sdc" read thepartition table of the two SCSI drives. So, what I have is:


1) The kernel sees the SCSI drives

2) On some other ALT-F screen I see all the soothing messages from the mdsubsystem concerning registering various md personalities.


However,

3) mdadm isn't running

4) Anaconda sees neither the softraid partitions, nor the actual underlying/dev/sd? devices at all.


WTF?

This is a 64 bit machine. I have another machine 32 bit machine with noIDE drives, two SCSI drives connected to an AIC-7902B, also in a RAID-1configuration, and I had no problems whatsoever upgrading that one to F11.
