Hi,
curently running centos4.4 with a board having promise sata controller. If I try to update to centos-5, the installer hangs up.
No problems under centos-4.4.
Does somebody know a workaround for this problem?
In the mailing list archives I found a similar report, but no solution.
No solution, no known work-around except a major kludge with a FC6 kernel. Please add comments to the BZ report:
Can anyone reproduce that bug on a RHEL5 box? If it really is a kernel/init bug, it should be reported upstream.

Hi,
both FC6 and RHEL5 show exactly the same behaviour, that means the installer hangs during install on promise sata controller. I will file a bug to RedHat and Fedora.

Please point to the CentOS bug too in the upstream bug entry (if you need to add one) .. as I get tired of seeing posts describing how CentOS Developers / Users are parasites who take from Red Hat and give nothing back.
If we discover and document a problem on CentOS, and it is later determined to be an upstream issue that they do not currently have in bugzilla then a link to the CentOS bugs site helps document that CentOS is a good Open Source player ... and not a bunch of leeches.
We already know this, of course :D ... it seems some other people could stand to figure it out though.

Hi,
I found out (in the Fedore archives ;-) that the boot option "nodmraid" (for the install kernel) would be helpful. I checked it, and this really helps: the installation is totally performed - no hangup, and afterwards the system runs with centOS 5.
