Hi folks!
I had an issue with my Adaptec U160 and Dell_U320 SCSI raid controllers card on FC10.
After you install the system you wont be able to boot it. It affect the SAS (serial_scsi) too.
The problem is lie in the initrd file.
The solution is for many SCSI and SAS too is to rebuild this file.
So after you installed the new FC10:
Reboot the system with the install cd/dvd in rescue mode then:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
mkinitrd --with=scsi_wait_scan -f /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64
reboot
That is all.
If you use 32 bit system the image name and the initrd name(at the command's end) are different.
You have to change them to fit for your kernel.
After reboot the system you can update the kernel. In my case(64 bit) the new kernel is good.
If you can't reboot with the new updated kernel just repeat the things above with the new kernel too.
I hope it helped.
