From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: When RedHat Linux is booted up into rescue mode it now does something VERY intelligent, it loads the ieee1394 drivers such that you can perform a rescue on a hard drive which is attached to a 1394 controller, something I do totally appreciate! Thank you for adding this! However, if you boot the CD-ROM for the purposes of doing an installation vice a rescue, then you do NOT get the 1394 drivers loaded! Well the fact that this does not happen, makes it VERY difficult to install a copy of RH 9.0 onto a 1394 drive which would need to be rescued in the future!?! I cannot imagine that you would instend to load 1394 drivers (in rescue mode), when the installer is not loading them to allow an initial installation onto a 1394 drive! If the installation scripts could be corrected to do the same "detect and load" of 1394 devices that rescue mode does, this would be wonderful. As I do consulting, and often times have need for installing to some sort of external drive (in the instant case 1394) it would be a very nice addition to RedHat Linux to be able to do this. I presume it is just some sort of bug in a script which is failing to load the modules need to perform this task. Have a wonderful and blessed day sir! Thanks, Stuart Beverly Hills, CA Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): installer How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attach an external 1394 HD to your system 2. boot the install CD and try to install to the 1394 drive! 3. Additional info:
If I understand you correctly you are wanting to install RH 9 onto a firewire drive? This isn't supported, but if you boot with 'expert' on the command line the firewire drive will be shown in the list of drives you can partition. Is this what you are asking?
