if your bios is anywhere remotely sane then it should work regardless of not knowing the PCI ID, just not with DMA. You can try to use "ide=nodma" on the grub screen to see if that works... :( Or a newer kernel from the rawhide directory of our ftp site; that one has the ID added I tried the ide=nodma option during the course of my e-mail discussions with Red Hat support, and again just now, but the boot still stalls at the same place. Thus I think I'd like to go the rawhide route. Not to seem terribly obtuse about it, but when I look in /pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/rawhide/i386/images, I find an empty directory. Is this the correct directory and therefore should I conclude that there are no prebuilt images available? (I'm fairly new to the Linux world, and have yet to build a kernel, and am hoping to avoid doing so.) Or is there a directory where I can find the prebuilt images? You can get images from the beta "Null" thats' in the beta directory I went the rawhide route, downloading from a mirror site: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/beta/null/en/iso/i386 I burned images to CD, and after doing a mediacheck on each CD, installed Linux. The boot proceeds further than before, but at a certain point crashes, causing the hardware to reboot and the screen to go blue before I can really get a good look at the last console message before the crash. The best glance I could get was something still to do with the IDE, but I would not swear to this. Is there some way I can look at the previous boot's console log during boot time, such that I can give you more information? Also, is this the right forum for reporting bugs in a beta version of the software? Supported in the current errata kernels |
