This issue has been assigned to a developer for further action. On my particular hardware, conf.modules was setup incorrectly for the sbpcd module. Entered by the installer as "alias sbpcd". When corrected to "alias cdrom sbpcd" boot occurred normally. *** Bug 8587 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 7422 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Still there in beta3 Issue is resolved in next cut of RawHide. Confirmed, But isn't "alias cdrom mcdx" a bogus alias? And besides that it doesn't add a cdrom entry to /etc/fstab (I'm creating a new bug for this one) |
Hello, It seems that the 6.1 installer is bugging out for Sound Blaster CDs. After installing sucessfully, the following error occurs on boot. Finding module dependencies conf:1: missing argument can't open. This results in no kernel modules being loaded (i.e. no VFAT support, no ethernet, no cdrom, etc.). I found the problem in the conf.modules file. The installer put the following line in at the top alias sbpcd When I deleted that line and added the following instead: options cdrom sbpcd=1 alias cdrom sbpcd Then everything worked fine. Note, this problem occured with both the original boot floppy that came with my 6.1 boxed set and the RHEA-1999:045 update disk, using either text install or the gui install with both the GNU Workstation and a custom install.
