Well I'll have to get that. I think the main point here is that FC5,6,7
recognize the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" for both drives. This is the
issue. Cent0S 5 shows them as /dev/{sda,sdb} but still won't intall.
These are the OSes that will install. (Cent0S 4, RHEL4, Suse "all
latest" , and Gentoo, FC3 and think 4) So looking back at the bug
reports from FC3 , you will see this problem and how it was fixed. Then
they simply broke the install again for 3 CONSECUTIVE %$%*%@#$%
RELEASES, which I must say pisses me off so much. So it is the how FC
sees the harddrive that remains the problems.
