Installation of Fairfax Beta 3 on PE6450 exits abnormally
Last modified: 2005-10-31 17:00:50 EST
Description of Problem: Installation of Fairfax Beta 3 from a CD terminates abnormally on PowerEdge 6450 with 18GB hard drive connected to onboard AIC 7899 controller. In normal installation mode, after loading the aic7xxx, it terminates with: failed to read /modules/module-info install exited abnormally .... ejecting /tmp/cdrom Expert mode installation terminates with the same message but before loading any driver. NFS install works but during driver loading, messages that go to other terminal gets displayed in VT1. How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. on PE6450, connect a SCSI hard drive to the onboard AIC7899 2. Start installation from Fairfax Beta 3 CD 3. Actual Results: Installation terminates abnormally Expected Results: To complete installation. Additional Information: There was a PERC3/DC card on the system when I first saw this issue but removing the PERC3/DC doesn't change anything.
Looks like a bad CD to me - have you checked the md5sum?
At BOOT: prompt, I type "linux ide=nodma". The installation process going through. It works. Properly, this is the work around thing.
We need the contents of /proc/ide/*/model.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax

Arjan applied patch in 2.4.7-0.12 and above.
Reproduced on RC1. CD model: SMASUNG CD-ROM SN-124 . Kernel: 2.4.7-2smp
Reproduced on RC1. CD model: SAMSUNG CD-ROM SN-124 . Kernel: 2.4.7-2smp
Oh bah. Typo in the model name in the blacklist.......... fixed in the next build
Arjan, there are a bunch of typos. Look at all the SAMSUNG entries, they've got "CR-DROM", and I didn't catch it when pushing the new entries to Alan and Andre. When they're right in your tree, can you either send the corrections to them, or tell me and I'll do it? -Matt
Yup just fixed that one. I'll talk to Alan about it later today.
Fixed in new build
Let says: SAMSUNG = SMASUNG CD-ROM SN-124 TEAC = TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E DVD = LG DVD-ROM DRN-8080B -If I plug SAMSUNG or DVD to PE6450, RC2 fails to see RH CD1. It doesn't matter what option I type at the BOOT: prompt ( apic, linux ide=nodma, etc.) This error is the same as issue 52674 - If I plug TEAC to PE6450, It works, and I can perform the installation through CD - If I plug SAMSUNG or DVD to PE2500, PE2550, and I also can install RH by CD
