Actual Results: tries to boot of CDrom when I tried to install RH 7.1, but dies. Expected Results: install from cdrom perfectly Additional info: I have had to put a line in my own init script to say #disable DMA for CD-ROM /sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use cdrom post install
"RICOH CD-R/RW MP7083A" is the string from cat /proc/ide/hdX/model ? if so I'll add it to the "dont do dma" list thanks for the report.
Yes. RICOH CD-R/RW MP7083A is in /proc/ide/hdc/model. Look forward to RH7.2 being easier to install!
Thanks for the info, added to the no-dma list for the next build.
