have you tried passing 'ide=nodma' as kernel parameter? As above I have tried:
linux text apm=off ide=nodma ide=noautotune
at install boot time, and added to the 'Boot Loader Config' Install screen:
apm=off ide=nodma ide=noautotune
As options to pass to the kernel, without ticking the 'force LBA32' box. These
options can then be seen in the FRUB edit box on the kernel line.
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { busy }
partition check:
hda:hda: status time out ...
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: rest timeout
...
Mounting Root Filesystem
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06 (hda), sector 2
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
...
Panic
With just ide=nodma the errors are the same as above.
Cheers
Kev
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: See service request 213705: Installing 7.3 onto a Dell Latitude LS laptop. Instalation goes seemlessly, installed 3 times: First - Workstation Install, heavily customed Second - Workstation Install, totally default Thurs - Laptop install, EXT2 FS for all partitions, block check for all partitions everything else totally default - block checks went fine. Every time - Reboots, loads the kernel, then fails to start init. Errors from the third boot: == Partition Check: hda:hda: status time out: status=0xd0 { busy } hda: DMA disabled hda: drive not ready for command ide0: reset timed-out end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 2 ... net4: ... end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 2 EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=03:02, iso_blknum=16, block=32 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02 == Slightly different errors from the first 2 installs: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:07 (hda), sector 2 EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock error 22 == Searching around suggested Power Managment issues - which I have all turned off in the BIOS, and Journel issues - I booted up rescue mode, tried to create a journel on each partition but they already existed. As suggested by support I tried: linux text apm=off ide=nodma ide=noautotune at install time, and adding apm=off ide=nodma ide=noautotune at boot time to no effect on Redhat - these options did make Mandrake work though! More info from a 4th EXT3 install with the options above: A dump of as much of the relevant info as I could get coppied down: PIIX4: not 100$ native mode: will probe irqs later ... blk: queue ..., I/O limit ... (mask ...) hda: set_drive_speed_status: status=0xd0 { busy } hda status timeout hda: drive not ready for command ... hda: DMA disabled hda: drive not ready for command ide0: reset timed out ... Mounting Root filesystem end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06 (hda), sector 2 EXT3-fs unable to read superblock mount error 22 mounting ext3 pivotroot: ... failed: 2 Kernel panic: no init found .. Hardware is a Dell Latitude LS H400ST with external IDE CD drive, PIII 400Mhz, 128Mb ram, 6Gb single internal HD. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install redhat 2.Reboot 3. Actual Results: Can't load init, leading to a Panic Expected Results: Login prompt Additional info: Windows 2000 installed, booted and works fine on the machine Mandrake Installed, then when booting hung when trying to do the partition checks, but worked using the flags suggested for redhat from the support guys. It's stopping me using a purchased copy of Redhat.....
