Were you able to boot from the disc? Did you check the md5sum of the disc? Yes, the system boots from CDROM. I also use the same disc on the other system with CD-ROM drive, and the CD is working fine. Have you tried making a boot floppy with the boot.img file and booting that way? I tried to use boot.img diskette, and the result is the same. I also tried on the other PE6450 with minimum configuration (3GB RAM), and I got the same result. However, the same DVD-ROM is working on PE2550. I tried RH7.1SBE, It works. Fairfax beta 3 --> no. If you do a network install, does the drive work in the post-install environment? After network install, I can use DVD-ROM drive to read CD, and DVD disc. Also, I tried to install RC2, I got no luck either. Below is a content of /proc/ide/hda/model LG DVD-ROM DRN-8080B Can you send us one of the drives? We don't have any of those here.... Also, try with the 'acpi' flag to the boot kernel. ('apic', not 'acpi'. Sorry about that.)
Passing "apic" doesn't make a difference. Issue was tested on three PE6450 and was reproduced on all. "linux ide=nodma" is required when using a "SAMSUNG CD-ROM SN-124". Installation on PE6450 with "Toshiba XM-7002B" cdrom exits abnormally even when "ide=nodma" is passed. After install RC2 by using NFS install method. I can use DVD-ROM drive. However, there are a bunch of errors message. I will attach /var/log/messages to this bug. Created attachment 30999 [details]
DVD-ROM error message
hardware/kernel problem. The same issue was reported and closed against Florence, bug # 29089. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29089) The blacklist entry that fixed #29089 is now in the standard kernel and is of course not backed out for this release; you can see it in the ideblacklist patch. We think that in our very latest BOOT kernels we have used a big enough hammer to fix this problem. Testing with boot.img from kernel 2.4.7-7 (from Rawhide) installed fine using this DVD. More testing will be done tomorrow. Works with Gold. |
