We tried to follow the HOWTO below, but were unable to get the Alt-F2 prompt until after Anaconda had started. This is too late for Anaconda to find the i2o attached scsi drives. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg03906.html The work around is simply to type 'linux noprobe' at the boot prompt. Revised HOWTO... 1) Unpack the kernel RPM for your FC2 installer. 32bit is the "i586" kernel, and 64bit is the "x86_64" kernel. Use a command like: rpm2cpio kernel-2.6.5-1.358.i586.rpm | cpio -idv 2) Take the i2o_proc.ko module and put it on a floppy disk. 3) At the first screen of isolinux, use "linux noprobe" as a boot option. 4) When it asks if you want to load any driver disks, install the i2o_block device, any any others required for your system. 4b) Go into ALT-F2 terminal, manually mount the floppy disk and use insmod to load the i2o_proc module and lsmod to verify that it was loaded. 5) Go back into Anaconda and go through the next few screens. Disk Druid should now see the i2o disks. Everything *SHOULD* work now. At least it did for us in testing. 6) After installation you wont ever need the i2o_proc module again, and it should *JUST WORK*. If not report your results here and I will try to help. Many thanks to Richard Rudd who though of trying 'linux noprobe' to get an earlier Alt-F2 console and to Warren Togami who's howto I modified. Regards Chris Dew (IT Dept. Mole Valley Farmers Ltd.)
