in addition to 'ide2=0x180,0x386' you also need 'pci=off' as noted in the release notes. It would be nice to get this fixed properly at some point, so we get back to previous behaviour. how do current releases behave ? closing due to inactivity. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Using an (admittedly old) Vaio r505zx the installer fails to recognize the PCMCIA sony cdrom. This problem persists even when using the 'ide2=0x180,0x386 cdrom=hde', 'nopcmcia', and 'noprobe' options in various permutations. after these steps you get stuck in the can't find device, do you need to load a driver messages install worked with RH9 (running now) workaround would probably be to run a net install, but that seems a bit Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.get an old vaio 2.use the (matchingly old) sony pcmcia cdrom (pcga-cd5) to install 3.no go. Actual Results: stuck in the need to load a driver text messages Expected Results: graphical install process Additional info:
