originally my pc runs with a sata (160 GB) drive, on which win xp is installed. so, and not wanting to touch the drive i attached to normal ata drives ( each 20 GB), and disconnected the sata drive, Why to drives? Well because i got a problem: in another machine (home brew), i was running fc3 but unfortunately this machine is not starting, so i decided to install fc5 on the dell machine with the 2 ata drives and sata removed, so as to be able to mount my fc3 drive after the installation of fc5, in order to rescue my work from the fc3 drive.
I allready submited a bug to anaconda, # 188120. Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thx in advance for your help.
The first few lines of the anaconda dump are:
