kernel bug. Is by chance the BIOS set to "PnP OS" ? I removed the docking kit (that has a CD ROM controller for my laptop) and ran the installer from an external floppy drive and CD ROM drive and I did not get the same error problem. I have another problem though: VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 08.41 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:41 If you know the fix right away, please let me know. Otherwise, I will keep working on it. Thanks. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (WinNT; U) Description of problem: Installers hangs after loading vmlinuz, uncompressing Linux... I just cannot continue installing the Operating Systems. I tried to boot the OS using the CD-ROM dircetly (from MS DOS prompt: \dosutils\autoboot.bat) but the same problem occurred. I also tried other options such as: lowres but the installer also hangs. There was no error messages, but the screen went blank. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Restart PC, install Boot Disk 2. Type 'enter' then hit 'return' in the Welcome to Linux page 3. Actual Results: The messages will appear: - Loading initrd.img ... - Loading vmlinuz ... - Uncompressing Linux.. - Then there were several lines of messages scrolling up so fast that you cannot see them. - Then, there is one page of message before the installer hangs. The last few lines read: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 4 of device 00:05.1 got res[1000:100f] for resource PCI device 8086:7111 got res[10000000:10000fff] for resource 0 of PCI device 1179:060f got res[10001000:10001fff] for resource 0 of PCI device 1179:060f Limiting direct PCI/PCI transfers Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 --> Screen frozen Expected Results: The screes does not get frozen, the installer does not hang and so on.. Additional info: After I reformatted the hard drive, the problem still happens. I have a laptop Toshiba Portege with 65Mb RAM, 4 Gb HD, about 233Mhz Penitum II processor.
