installation options

[nick.thorley]

Hi all

My raid card doesnt seem to be detected on install which i presumed was down to lack of support. However i know it is supported in the kernel and is picked up by other distros on the same kernel. Thus i am presuming i need to start the install with some extra flags to force the detection of the card

Can anyone help please as i really want to install fc6 and avoid other distros

Thanks

Nick

I know i have read that before. However it does work fine with ubuntu so obviously it is supported in 2.6 kernel and was supported fine in fc6 test 1 so why not in the released fc6?

Thanks for replying

Hello Nick:
Not sure if this will help your or not?
I had a similar issue regarding a drive attached to a raid setup.
I started the installation with the linux nodmraid option and it picked up the drive.
