That's really weird. We have a Duron test machine here that works fine. Do you see any error messages or anything? Can you look on VC3 and VC4, or is the machine too hard locked to do that? Needinfo comes here:
*could* be my CDROM??
VC3 stops at
*Detected 128 M of memeory
*swap attempt of 128 M to 256 M
VC4 stops at
<4>hdb: ATAPI reset timed-out, status=0xd0 reset
<4>ide0: reset timed-out, status 0xd0
<4>hdb: status timeout: status 0xd0 {Busy}
Hope this helps!
Hmmm...can you try booting with 'linux ide=nodma'? Does that help? okay, tried it (how do you write all that stuff into a file?? Can't possibly
note down pages!). In any case: similar result. Some of the VC4 are:
....
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
....
....
<4>hdb: DMA disabled (new here compared to before)
....
<
<4>hdb: ATAPI reset timed-out, status=0xd0
<4>ide0: reset timed-out, status 0xd0
<4>hdb: status timeout: status 0xd0 {Busy}
<4> drive not ready for command (new here compared to before)
This is starting to sound like a kernel problem. If the machine is running a linux already, could you give the output of
"lspci -v" ? ("lspci -v > file" will send it to file "file" which you then
can attach to this bug)

lspci for installed system (7.1 - graphical install)

Sorry, sorry, here the complete "dump" as off root
I have a pentium 100 system that is experiencing a similar hang in text mode but at a different location. I lose all keyboard control after the mediacheck dialog page. Nothing jumps out to me on VC3 or VC4. Redhat 7.x installs on this thing just fine... I will get back to you with the lscpi -v log when I'm done reinstalling rh 7.x on this thing. 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/ |
