http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Following settings: - Fedora 16 - md raid on /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 Wanted to upgrade to Fedora 17. Inserted Disk. Booted, changed boot settings ...rd.md=1... then md raid is detected and I can see it in /dev/ (/dev/md127). But still the Problem: Anaconda does not detect my installation, Starting the Install to Disk-Programm only serves the Install to HardDisk and not the Upgrade old System things. I also used the boot-option "upgradeany".. did not help either. Any suggestions?? greetz (HowTos)

Stories similar to Anaconda not detecting old Fedora 16 on md raid

I seem to be having a similar problem to many in this forum where a Fedora 12 install fails to find any SATA hard disks (Asus motherboard with Via raid chipset) although Fedora 10 installs and runs great. I tried the DVD full install disk, the net install, and the upgrade from within Fedora 10 (where the installer can't detect the hard disk it just booted from).

Hi,

Today i've tried to install Fedora 18 on my linux machine, this machine actually runs on Debian Squeeze with md arrays.

Need help regarding raid 1 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hai to all

I planned to setup raid 1 mirroring for my small home environment . Then i selected two new harddisk and connected to my system. I inserted my fedora dvd and i clicked raid button in the graphical installation process by refering redhat docs . I installed successfully in /dev/sda /dev/sdb it works fine .

Hi, I'm a beginner to Linux. I installed Fedora v.7 a couple months back on a Dell desktop (dual boot with WinXP). I am trying to upgrade to the latest version now and having some problems. I tried to upgrade to Fedora v 10 using yum update, but get the following error: "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: anaconda-upgrade-install".

I have 2 80 Gb HDD's with a RAID 0 motherboard configuration (Intel Z77, fakeRAID) with a 100 Gb partition running Windows 7 and a 60 Gb partition where I would like to install Ubuntu 12.10. However, even though the installer seems to correctly detect the RAID 0 array, GRUB2 is not installed and the computer boots into Windows normally. The same thing does not happen when installing Fedora 17.

My PC is dual-boot, F16 and Ubuntu 12.04. Although I mainly run Fedora, Ubuntu's grub2 was automatically placed in my MBR when I did the upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04.

I recently ran preupgrade to upgrade from F16 to F17. When I tried to boot anaconda, the only Fedora entry in my grub2 menu was "Upgrade to Fedora 16 (Verne)".

I'm trying to install Fedora 17 beta on my machine with one spinning disk and one SSD using the anaconda partitioning "custom" mode.

This fails with the "you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device" error which they say here means you need to make a "bios boot" partition as the File system type.

F18 How to install on Bios Raid 15 weeks 18 hours ago

I have a laptop with BiosRaid 1 and Windows 7 running. I do need this Windows, but most of my work I do on Ubuntu which is installed in dual boot. Now I want to replace Ubunto by Fedora. So I run the installation and that worked fine but than it seems to destoy the Raid in some way. At least the Intel Storage Manager does repair it every time I boot Win7 after any Fedora session..

I'm having some trouble with my RAID array. I have tried to research this, but all I can find is how to install Arch Linux ONTO an array, not how to detect Windows on one, and configure grub for it. I have two SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration, which holds my Windows 7 installation. I then have two HDDs in JBOD.
