If you boot from a boot floppy, can you install from the CD? If so, it's probably a bios bug No, the install program cannot see the CD even though it identifies it correctly in the load process. After the floppy portion is complete it pops up a dialog "Installation Method" where I choose "Local CDROM". Next I get an error message dialog that says, "The Red Hat Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the RH Linux CD and press OK to retry". And that is as far as we go (if I choose "back" we get into a loop of choose CDROM install and no disk in CDROM). This is the same disk on which I have run mediacheck and it passed. This is the same disk that boots in two other machines here at home. I have contacted the reseller to find out how to get the latest bios but since no other installations have ever had a problem on this machine I doubt it is a bios issue. And.........what pray tell are you doing working? Do you not know this is a LEGAL holiday? That means you MUST take the day off! :) It would seem your drive cannot read the media. You are right, my drive cannot read the media. But the fact is, this is the only media it cannot read! It is not a drive problem. Additionally, the media is fine -- checked ok and works on other machines. Again, I emphasise, there is nothing wrong with either the media or my drive -- it is the install program not responding to its own correct identification of the DVD-CDROM. You can contact Red Hat Customer Support to get a replacement set of media. |
