Description

What type of CD drive is on the box? Can you see if there are any messages about the Cd drive on tty4? It is standard CD/DVD drive. There are no CD/DVD drive related messages. I now upgraded the box with Yum and I am unable to boot Fedora 9 normally after the upgrade. It seems that I've installed actually Fedora Core 6 and upgraded with Yum ever since. The normal installation still fails, of course. However, additional information: 1) smolt profile for the box: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_63cee385-08bc-44d7-a5f0-47fd4339081c 2) /etc/modprobe.conf that is inherited probably from the days of FC6: alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptsas alias scsi_hostadapter2 sata_svw alias scsi_hostadapter3 pata_serverworks alias scsi_hostadapter4 cciss alias scsi_hostadapter5 BusLogic alias scsi_hostadapter6 sata_mv 3) dmesg output attached after booting to latest F9 kernel - notice how some devices are slow to respond and how several drivers are loaded one by one (perhaps the installer is not smart enough to do the same?) Thanks. Created attachment 307386 [details]
dmesg with latest F9 kernel on an HP DL145 G3
Is the CD drive attached to the parallel ATA port? And is it usable after booting the new install? Yes, the CD/DVD drive is attached to the parallel ATA port. I actually just now realized that no, the drive is not usable, no signs of it in dmesg/lspci output. I will attach current dmesg/lspci output from the machine running F9 + latest updates. PS. FWIW, I was told that the machine is not actually final DL145G3 but a prototype so this case might not be applicable for real DL145G3s. Thanks! Created attachment 316481 [details]

An FC8 dmesg to compare would be helpful Created attachment 317197 [details]
F8 dmesg
This an F8 dmesg. Booted Live CD from a USB DVD drive. The ATA CD/DVD drive was not usable.

dmesg with F10Beta on an HP DL145 G3 beta
This is fixed with F10Beta!
For completeness, I'll attach dmesg from F10Beta for your consumption.
I'll close this one solved as both installation and boot with F10Beta work out-of-box.
Thanks!
Thanks for testing, must admit I have no idea what fixed it 8) |
