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 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.
