Description Jacques Pronchery 2012-04-10 11:10:31 CEST
I install MAGEIA with boot.iso in FTP
After licence and loading ide driver, the system ask for other device.
If I continue there is :

An error occured - no valid devices where found on which to create new
filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.

This problem appear with two PC.
I verified the HD, there are OK.

Comment 4 Pascal Terjan 2012-04-10 15:13:06 CEST
It recognizes it on your system but it doesn't seem to in the installer. Maybe a missing driver in the installer.

Can you post the output of lspcidrake -v on your system? 

During the installation it lists:

ide_pci_generic : nVidia Corporation|MCP61 SATA Controller [STORAGE_IDE] (subv:1025 subd:0153)
ide_pci_generic : nVidia Corporation|MCP61 SATA Controller [STORAGE_IDE] (subv:1025 subd:0153)

Which means it didn't find a specific driver.

Comment 6 Pascal Terjan 2012-04-10 16:01:10 CEST
OK so it seems the installer did not load sata_nv. I can't look more into it now.

Now all is OK.
Comment 9 Pascal Terjan 2012-04-11 15:11:49 CEST
This is surprising, the installer was not updated yesterday or today.
Comment 10 Jacques Pronchery 2012-04-11 16:56:34 CEST
I used the new boot.iso
Comment 11 Pascal Terjan 2012-04-11 16:58:33 CEST
The new boot.iso is from 3 days ago, before your report :)
Comment 12 Jacques Pronchery 2012-04-11 17:12:15 CEST
The test was made the 6 april and I verifyed yesterday but I have not seen
there is an update of boot.iso the 8.
But the mirror twiska seems to not update boot.iso so fast as packages.
Comment 13 Pascal Terjan 2012-04-11 17:13:05 CEST
OK thanks :)
