Fedora 12 can't find any hard drives to install on

I downloaded the x86_64 installation DVD of Fedora Core 12. When I try to install it as a guest, I get this error message after selecting the keyboard type:

You don't seem to have any hard drives on your system! Would you like to configure additional devices?

I don't understand why Fedora can't find my IDE hard drive. I tried setting it to SCSI and got the same message.
 
Please, create problem report when you'll see that message next time (via Help->Report a problem) and write its number here.
 
I've checked on PD5 and FC12 x86_64 installed without any problems.

I used custom install from FC12 DVD.
 
I just sent report 917528. This is a cool reporting feature. I like how I can send a screenshot of the guest.

I'm having this problem with PD version 4.0.3846.

Interestingly, Fedora Linux 11 works just fine.
 
Looks like there was a problem in PD4, you can try to use kernel parameter pci=noacpi at boot. This may help.

And better to upgrade to PD5 ;)

PS: Same issue for Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and looks like for all modern kernels.
