Description of problem: Can not install because driver for CDROM not found. Fedora Core 6 works on this laptop but Fedora Core 7 test 2 does not. Under FC6 it uses the ide_cd and the cdrom drivers. The CDROM is a UJDA720 DVD/CDRW drive on a KDS laptop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I tried every driver in the list but none would work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Can you attach your FC6 boot messages so I can see what hardware you have and how it is configured when working.

Comment on attachment 149497 [details] Boot messages from offending computer I burned this file to CD from FC6 through GNOME also.
Have similar problem with the FC7 test 2 live cd on my laptop. lspci -v: 00:10.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c4) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP Pri P]) The failure message is something like this: ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata2.00: cms a0/01:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x12 data 36 in res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata2: soft resetting port Hope that helps.
Test patch posted to linux-kernel list
Applied this patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/27/172 to 2.6.21-rc5-mm2. Got exactly the same error message. Then removed the cdrom. Then it says: ata2: BUG: prereset() requested invalid reset type The kernel then proceeds to panic as it can't find root filesystem.
Bulk message: Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost.
