http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi all, I'm having issues. Live DVD goes into Emergency mode after getting to Plymouth. Nothing detected at \dev\".............whatever the path is" and a dracut error, sorry I haven't placed the exact text in. The live DVD works fine on another machine. As does the DVD install. So I thought I'd be clever and installed Fedora 17 then ran Fedup, everything seemed to be fine, but same result, when it tries to run Fedora 18, no hard drives detected. My motherboard is an Asus M4 A88T USB3. Version 0304 04/19/2010 I have flashed it to the most recent update I can find 01/06/2012, and (HowTos)

Stories similar to Fedora 18 does not detect any harddrives

I'm trying to install Fedora 18 (64-bit KDE) on my new SATA hard drive via a Live DVD. Unfortunately, the hard drive is not being detected by the Installer. I've never had this problem before. As an experiment, I tried plugging in my current IDE hard drive with Fedora 17 (64-bit KDE), and the Installer couldn't read that either.

Hi All,

I recently installed Fedora 17 (KDE) on my laptop. The installation went fine, but F17 is unable to detect USB drives that I am connecting to it. I use a 3G dongle to connect to internet.

F18 Install Display Issue 16 weeks 3 days ago

Hello,

First of all I'm new to Fedora / Linux in geneneral but I am eager to learn.

I am trying to install Fedora 18 on my machine but keep running into issues. I've browsed a for solutions but could not find quite what I was looking for ...

My end goal was to dual boot fedora 18 / window 7.

I downloaded F18 from the website and made a live CD.

I am having issues also loading Fedora 16 into Virtualbox, the Live CD part works fine and Fedora comes up with in VirtualBox, however once i go to settings and load to hard disk the system starts the processes get almost all the way through the copying Live Image to Hard Drive and at the end of the copying processes the following error message comes up: "Error: There was an error installing

Dear Guys, I upgraded some old systems before from fedora 4 and fedora 6 to fedora 9 and 10 using the cds, When I booted the cds of fedora 9 and 10 it detected the old installed fedora and offered to upgrade it, It sounds nice, I chose to upgrade and every thing went fine, The old fedora 4 and 6 became 9 and 10.

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).

I just built a new computer and I am having trouble installing Fedora from a live USB and a live CD. When I boot, everything starts normally and says loading before it would normally get to the graphical boot. Then I get a black screen with text and says "Dracut: starting plymouth daemon" and the installation hangs forever.

I have a feeling this has to do with my graphics card?

I just tried installing the 64bit Fedora 17 on a Lenovo V570 from the live cd (live cd boots up fine). Install goes fine with no errors and it's a clean install with no dual boot. When the computer restarts it gives a "media test failure" and does not boot.

I searched for this solution for a long time and I thought I would share it. I have not had good luck with the Intel Atom Motherboards using a single vga display. Because of this I have been stuck on Fedora 14 i686 because of video problems. I use ELO 1280x1024 touchscreens for my embedded systems.

Let me explain the issue.
