I have got my hands on a preproduction test machine, called HP Compaq 2510p. I will have to return it to HP soon.. It is a 10"(?) laptop.
I have tested it with our kickstart install system. It installs Fedora Core 6 32-bit fine, but when I try Fedora 7 32-bit it doesn't find the harddrive! Is there any interest from Fedora developers for me to supply them with some info to make this work? Note that I have a time limit.
Please reply to me directly, as I guess this is beyond the scope of this list.

We need to compare the dmesg(8) output from both. You can scp(1)/ftp(1) it off of the booted install CD using the emergency shell on the alternative terminal. Just:
# dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.boot
Also:
# lspci -v
...would be very useful.

The new disk driver (libata) wraps in SATA, and IDE drives. Since it is now the default in F7, and since it is not as mature as the old IDE drivers, it sometimes fails to pick them up.
Try booting with noacpi and noapic and see what happens.

More likely as the machine is pre-production it contains unknown IDE device types. The old kernels (FC6 and earlier) included a generic ISA style fallback driver which FC7 does not and would thus drive unknown chipsets. Thats purely a compile time choice of the kernel builder.

The windows ppl here confirmed that they had to update the drivers to get it to work. Aparently the HD controller is brand new.

Did not help.
