This late in the game, looks like we're going to stick with what
we've
got right now, which is HPA respected by default, and the ability to
override it at install time if the installer is booted with
libata.ignore_hpa=1. First go 'round, those with partitions in the hpa
are going to get an ugly error message, but we'll stick something in
F7KnownIssues (or whatever it is) like we did for FC6 documenting the
work-around.
That workaround works here. I tried the Rescue CD (thanks, Bruno!) and
dmesg shows that with "libata.ignore_hpa=1" added to the command line the
hpa is disabled. I don't know what else I can do to test Anaconda from the
rescue CD -- perhaps start an HTTP install from, umm, somewhere?
