You're getting a CRC error reading the initrd. If you've burned multiple times, are you sure that you don't possibly have a bad cdrom drive? You might try booting from floppy to see if that works better. Booting from a floppy doesn't work eithor. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: When I try to install Red Hat 9 the kernel crashes in it's loading phase. After then main screen comes up from booting the CD, I hit enter and it starts loading the kernel. It will return the following lines. RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 crc error<6>Freeing intitrd memory: 2640K freed VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 48:05 Please append a correct "root=" boot opion Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 49:05 I know it's not a media problem as I have checked the md5sum of the iso and burned it 3 different times. I have installed all other linux versions beginning with 7 with no problem and the only thing that has changed is I installed a 2nd hard drive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert CD-ROM 2. Hit Enter at prompt Actual Results: Kernel panic Expected Results: anaconds would load Additional info:
