What type of messages? If you attach a serial console, can you capture them? I'm sorry, I don't have a serial console. Any other ways to capture the kernel boot messages? Digital camera? Paper? :) I finally found the time to get back to this machine (hey, I had too, now that RH 9 is no longer supported). It helped to boot with a couple of kernel options like acpi=off apm=off noapic. So the bug must have been relevant to this one machine only with its specific set of bios settings. As far as I'm concerned it can be closed now. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: When booting from the FC cd 1 (or from a cd created from boot.iso) on a dual-pentium III (2x P III, 1 GHz) machine, just after the stage where the kernel is uncompressed and initrd loaded, there is an endless stream of messages that scroll by to quick to read (and as far as I know, no way to record the messages). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from FC1 cd1 or boot.iso Actual Results: lits of error messages scrolling by until reset is pressed Expected Results: kernel boot, followed by anaconda installer Additional info: BTW: booting using cd1 of RedHat 9 or RHEL 3 works just fine, as did the previously installed RedHat 7.1
