Hi,
I have exactly same trouble. Anaconda crashes when loading sata_sil driver. FC2
and WinXP work OK.
I have one SATA drive (Maxtor 160GB) connected to the PCI SATA controller
(ST-Lab) with Sil3112 chipset.
I would like to try update mentioned above, but I dont know how if I cant
install the system... Could you give me some advice?
Thanx. Kokoska Rokoska
I encountered the same trouble of kernel oops with sata_sil.ko version 0.9 included in the DVD distribution 'FC4-i386-DVD.iso'. I compared the source file sata_sil.c with the latest source in kernel 2.6.12.5, and I found two additions to the file. This kernel module is probably the one that was used in kernel v2.6.12-rc5 (see 'http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/12- rc5/drivers/scsi/sata_sil.c') This kernel oops problem has been identified and resolved on release of kernel 2.6.12 (see the message issued by Mr. Linus Torvalds to the kernel mailing list at 'http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/1/message/80826/thread'.) To install Fedora Core 4, I have to modify the iso image in Windows XP, and use Fedora Core 3 boot disk to start the installation process with option: linux askmethod and choose harddisk as the source of installtion iso. Two files were replaced in 'FC4-i386-DVD.iso' as follows: - overwrite kernel package 'kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm' inside /Fedora/ RPMS with updated kernel 'kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.i686.rpm' available in Fedora Download site. - overwrite the boot image 'stage2.img' inside /Fedora/base with that of Fedora Core 3 boot disk. It is required as this image file should match with the boot disk. 'Fedora Core 4' was installed on my machine without a hitch, and I have performed the long and tedious 273MB yum update. Best regards, Tommy Lee http://fedora.isphuset.no/ contains an unofficial Fedora 4.1, which may get you up and running, as it has a install kernel based on one of the errata kernels. |
