Description Richard Forrister 1999-02-22 22:04:07 UTC
Both emails pertinent to this problem are attached below.

Received my copy of intel RH 5.8b1 last night; decided I'd
make my first
installation attempt on my laptop system.  Yes, it has
PCMCIA; no, it's
not dependent on PCMCIA for installation support.

System Description:

Maximus (Sunrex) PowerMax P5/166MMX laptop system with 2.0Gb
Toshiba
2.5" IDE hard disk drive, 20X Toshiba CD-ROM drive, 64Mb
RAM, CT 65554
video chipset with 2Mb Video RAM, intel PCMCIA chipset
(supported),
12.1" SVGA LCD screen, capable of 800x600@16bpp resolution,
PS/2
touchpad.

The log of install attempts is below:

------------------------- LOG START
----------------------------------

I expected limitations on my laptop system, since it has
pcmcia interface,
but it's not required for installation, so I gave it a
shot.  The results
were unusable.

Attempt 1:

1.  At start of install attempt the drive (2.0GB Toshiba)
contained a
    working Caldera OL 1.3 installation.

2.  Was doing a CDROM boot & install; ATAPI CDROM.

3.  Stepped through dialogs to "Installation Class" dialog.
Selected
    "workstation" option.

4.  Got dialog box warning that I had a bad partition table,
table is
    corrupted, etc.

5.  Rebooted, selected expert

Attempt 2:

1   selected expert mode, as stated.

2.  Got to fdisk screen, was informed that I had no valid
partition
    table and that a new DOS disklabel was being built.

3.  Followed normal procedure, created 1 main partition &
one 127MB
    swap partition.  Hit <w> to write table.

4.  Still got corrupted partition table dialog.

Attempt 3:

1.  Found I had an old Caldera Network Desktop (CND-1) CDROM
laying
    in a desk drawer here at work.  Was beginning to believe
there
    was a problem with the drive.  So I made a boot &
supplimental
    floppy from that distro (based on RH 2.0, I believe) and
used it
    to do an install.  There were no problems; built a
valid,
    complete installation that I was able to boot.

2.  Knowing I now had a valid hard disk format, I now
rebooted with
    RH 5.8b1.  Followed normal install procedures, selected
Workstations
    class install option.  Failed as in attempt 1;
information screens
    showed following information:

<ALT><F4> screen shows:

<4>Partition check:
<4> hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
<5>RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0

<ALT><F5>

blank screen

<ALT><F1> (main screen) shows:
"Bad Partition Table" dialog:
The partition table on device hda is
corrupted.  To create new partitions
it must be initialized, causing the
loss of ALL DATA on this drive.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this point in time I went back to the CND 1 (Lite) CDROM
and used it
to reformat the hard drive & give me a valid partition
table.  When I
started fdisk, I got the following information:

Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8864 * 512 bytes


   Device  Boot   Begin    Start       End   Blocks   Id
System
/dev/hda1         51201    51948     51948     1233   83
Linux native
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings
(non-Linux?):
     phys=(0, 0, 1) logical=(51947, 87, 24)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(0, 127, 0) logical=(51947, 126, 32)
Partition 1 does not start on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(0, 0, 1) should be (0, 1, 1)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys-(0, 127, 0) should be (0, 127, 63)


So I deleted /dev/hda1, repartitioned, and rebooted.  The
new partitions
were:

   Device  Boot   Begin    Start       End   Blocks   Id
System
/dev/hda1             1        1       400  1612768+  83
Linux native
/dev/hda2           401      401       495   383040   83
Linux native
/dev/hda3           496      496       525   120960   82
Linux swap

Wrote out the table, and then rebooted, using the Red Hat
5.8b1 CDROM.

1.  Chose expert install from CDROM.

2.  Used disk druid to designate /dev/hda1 as /, /dev/hda2
as /home.

3.  Had system do bad block scans on partitions during
formatting of
    both regular partitions & swap partition.

4.  System was _extremely_ slow in formatting partitions.
Note that
    I again found the warning message in <ALT><F4> that it
had been
    unable to find a swap space signature.

5.  For all partitions there was an extremely long delay
between the
    completion of writting the superblocks and completion of
writting
    inode tables. (on <ALT><F5>).

6.  Switched back to main screen <ALT><F1>, was greeted by
dialog box
    "Error"  mount failed: invalid arguement.  Checked
<ALT><F4> for
    messages, found following:

<4>Partition check:
<4> hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
<5>RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
<4>VFS: Mounded root (ext2 filesystem).
<6>install uses obsolete /proc/pci interface
<7>ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
<3>kmod: failed to exec  -s -k nls_iso8859-1, errno = 2
<7>ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
<4>Unable to find swap-space signature
<4>VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev 03:01

7.  At this point I gave up for now.  Suggestions?  Any data
that I
    can provide you?


===============
Next test set:
===============
This weekend I performed the other test cycle I was
considering; a 5.8b1
update of an existing 5.2 installation.

Using the same laptop system as in all previous (I'm sure
glad I've got
multiple drives and drive trays for this system!), I did the
following
steps:

1.  Install RH 5.2 from the standard 5.2 CDROM.
2.  Do an upgrade from 5.2 to 5.8b1, using the beta 1 cdrom.

Results:

1.  The installation of 5.2 was as trivial as any install
I've ever
    done.  I put the cd in, booted the system, told it to do
a
    workstation install, and watched a movie on television.
As you
    know, answered a few questions at beginning & end of the
install,
    but it was really a non-effort.  Verified the
installation with
    a couple quick compilations, setup X, modified lilo.conf
& reran
    lilo; that sort of thing.

2.  Rebooted system with the 5.8b1 cdrom in the drive.
Selected upgrade.
    Went through the expected series of messages, then the
upgrade failed.

	<ALT><F4> shows message:
	<4> Unable to find swap-space signature

	database error messages were displayed on the screen, then
	promptly concealed with the "Upgrade Packages" dialog.

	Rebuilding RPM database
	Processing - Please wait
	Screen suddenly clears for a long period of time
	install exited abnormally, signal 7 generated.

3.  When I rebooted after the upgrade failure, I had the
following
    displayed as a part of the boot messages.  Perhaps
there's info
    here that will help:

Partition Check
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
[MS-DO)S_FS Rel. 12 FAT 0, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0,
umask=022, bmap]
Transaction block size = 512
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01


At this point, I reinserted the 5.2 cd and did a full
installation.


I will submit previous messages to bugzilla, per your
request.

Comment 1 Cristian Gafton 1999-03-18 19:42:59 UTC
Should be fixed in trhe current beta

Comment 2 Richard Forrister 1999-03-26 22:02:59 UTC
Well, attempting to install 5.9.X on my Maximus PowerMax laptop was
once
again a complete failure.  I was rather hopeful after the work that
has
gone into this; but no cigar here.  I've attached the following notes
from
my attempts this morning, they cover 3 separate attempts to install.
There
were others, but with identical results.

When, after the attempts to install Beta 2 had flopped, I installed RH
5.2,
I got the "Bad Partition Table" message.  This was for a workstation
install,
and selecting the options to initialize the drive worked fine.  At
this
point the evidence appears to point to a bug in the code, though where
I'm
not sure.  I'd thought that it might be in the install code or fdisk,
due
to the corrupt partition table, but seems more likely in the ext2 code
in
light of the way it thinks that it's looking at Sun disklabels &
starts
looking for scsi drives on a cyclic basis.

After all the log entries from my upgrade/installation attempts, I've
added the hwdiag output for this system in the hopes that it will
help.
Am quite willing to d/l and try out any code, code fragments, etc.
that
might help.  If you are unable to replicate the problem there, then am
even willing to put the system back in the original packaging & send
it
to Dale/Mike at Red Hat, if you'll accept cost + responsiblity for the
return of same.

If this were "unsupported hardware", I'd be unsurprised, and not at
all
concerned about the implications of this failure; but every version
from
4.2 - 5.2 has installed with zero fuss.  Both beta's have been
complete
failures, with identical problems reported.

Am sending this to Mike Wanger, Dale Lovelace, and Alan Cox, in
addition
to the testers list.  Will, as I stated, try anything reasonable that
you
may have as a suggestion.

Best

*********************************************************
*               First Attempt, 5.9.X Upgrade:           *
*********************************************************

1.  The 2.1Gb hdd in the Maximus Laptop computer currently has Caldera
v1.3
    installed on it.  My initial step in this test run was to install
Red
    Hat 5.2, workstation install.

2.  Began update of 5.2 Laptop installation.  Initial stages went
fine, then
    blew out with message on screen of "Install exited abnormally --
    received signal 7

    Sending termination signals... done
    Sending kill signals...done
    Unmounting file systems...
        /tmp/rhimage
        /mnt/boot
        /mnt/
        /proc
    You may safely reboot your system

3.  Only thing found on VT's was on <ALT><F4>: long series of messages
of
    the form:
    <4>EXT2-fs warning (device 03:05): ext2_unlink: Deleting
nonexistent
    file (198661), 0

*********************************************************
* Second Attempt: Straight Install                      *
*********************************************************
1.  First stage went well.  Kept existing partitions, assigned mount
points,
    Got message "Corrupt Partition Table".  Initialized, used linux
fdisk
    to repartition /dev/hda.  No problems on repartition.  Write out
table,
    then select "Done".  Promptly get message (again):

                        Bad Partition Table

        The partition table on device hda is corrupted.  To create new
    partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on
    this drive.

    I went through the cycle several times.  Interesting that
selecting
    the "Initialize" option dumps you into Disk Druid, even though you
    arn't using it.  I assume that the install process is somehow
patching
    you into the Disk Druid process, or only has a fork back into that
    routine?

    <ALT><F3>:

    At this point I made one last attempt at a reboot with _NO_
    optional devices of any sort in the system.  I removed the
    pcmcia card on the thought that it might be contributing to the
    problems.
