Hi, The eata-dma driver that comes with Red Hat 6.2 does not seem to work. I tried it on variety of machines and they all stopped with "Install exited abnormally". On console 3 there was : *going to insmod fat.o (path is NULL) *going to insmod vfat.o (path is NULL) *probing buses *finished bus probing *found nothing *no install methods have the required devices! And console 4 : <7>VFS: Disk change detected on fd(2, 0) <4>[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 0, check=r,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap] <4>[me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=0,ts=0,ls=0,vc=0,tc=4294967295] <4>Transaction block size=512 <4>VFS: Can't find valid msdos fiesystem on 02:00 Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Fred
Brock please verify.
reassigning these to dale@redhat.com for further review ...
Could you attach the output of the "lspci" command to this bug report? Thanks.
Here is the lspci output : 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX AGP bridge (rev 03) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:02.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:02.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:02.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 03) I tried it on many machines but this is the most common one. If you need anything else please ask. Thanks, Fred.
I am not seeing the scsi card in this lspci output, does this machine have a dpt scsi card (which is what the eata-dma driver is for) in it?
Please reopen this report if you continue to have problems.
