The CD kernel has things like ide dma and apm disabled. Try booting the kernel it installs with the options "apm=off" and "ide=nodma", and report back if that helps. I tried using those options, it still stalled at the same place... thanks for the idea tho. :) PS: The trick with the installer kernel is to pass it (or set grub to pass it) the option root=/dev/??? (where ??? is whatever your root fs is - probably /dev/hda2) 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/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: CD install from ISOs. Booted fine off CDs, install went fine, no problems. Here is output from a working installation (for reference purposes) -- ... hda: IC35L040AVVA07-0, ATA DISK drive hdb: WDC AC26400B, ATA DISK drive hdc: LITE-ON LTR-40125S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: IDE DVD-ROM 16X, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 ... Here is output from the install in question (the non-working one) -- ... hda: WDC AC313000R, ATA DISK drive hdc: IOMEGA ZIP100 ATAPI, ATAPI floppy drive hdd: MATSUSHITADVD-ROM SR-8585F, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive (stall here) However, the computer will boot fine off the CD into rescue mode. I even copied the kernel off the CD and was able to boot the computer fine with that... well except that it went into the installer. ;) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-14 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot 2. 3. Actual Results: Kernel stalled Expected Results: Linux should have booted Additional info: Computer specs: AMD K6-2 450mHz 128MB RAM VIA chipset/PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
