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.
Regards

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.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

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.

Can't get to my problematic system to test at the moment, but do recall seeing that reference and don't think it worked for me. I do know that my system will not boot CentOS 5 with any of the CentOS kernels, but will run on recent Fedora or CentOS 4 kernels, as documented in
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1879
That references upstream
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186272
There have been boot problems with different Promise controllers with somewhat different symptoms. Mine is
00:11.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20575 (SATAII150 TX2plus) (rev 02)
Not a RAID controller. What exact hardware are you finding the nodmraid work-around helps on?

OK - looks like we are dealing with two different sata_promise bugs.
Thanks, Phil

Just for common information:
I just tried to install CentOS 5 on a computer with a Promise PDC20378 controler (non-RAID mode) and the installer hangs.
Best regards to all on this list.

Yet another addition. Mine is PDC40718 (SATA 300 TX4) (rev 02), set up on CentOS 4.4, software RAID1, and working fine. Does anyone know if this card will encounter the same installer problem under CentOS 5?
