Finally solved this issue. It turns out that the onboard raid controller for the EVGA motherboard is 3Ware. So in the BIOS it has a setting for hard disk order and the choices for order were SCSI 3Ware and add on card. Since my raid controller card is 3Ware I had SCSI 3Ware as the first one in the list. Switching the order allowed it to boot up. Interesting that the list implies order but it never went the second item in the list and nothing is connected to the motherboard except an ESATA port that had nothing connected. In the boot order section of the BIOS it allowed me to pick multiple DVD drives so I'm confused as usual by the thinking that is not consistent with how they deal with boot devices. > > > > > > -- > > fedora-list mailing list > > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
