Description Bryan Headley 2001-07-22 17:41:45 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628

Description of problem:
I have PCMCIA controller for CDROM at "unusual" location
(ide2=0x180,0x386). Boot process works fine until there's a reset of the
pcmcia card(s) found. System hangs. Worked fine under 7.0 and previous
anaconda's that didn't have this 'reset' feature.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot CDROM
2. watch the screen come up & say 'resetting pcmcia'
3. doom
	

Actual Results:  3. doom

Expected Results:  Perhaps anaconda might continue to read info from the
CDROM, and continue the boot process.

Additional info:

Sony Vaio 505FX's external CDROM controller (an IDE on pcmcia card)

boot with "nopcmcia"
