Installing with "linux ide=nodma" works. contents of cat /proc/ide/hda/model : SANYO CD-ROM CRD-1332P How Reproducible: Every time. Actual Results: Cannot read CD at selecting CD media screen. Installation cannot proceed. Expected Results: CDROM model should have been added to the blacklist per Bugzilla #45169.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
Added to the blacklist in 2.4.7-0.14.1
Still unable to install without having to pass "linux ide=nodma" when installing RH 7.2 RC1.
As it appears that the blacklist is ignored in this case, I'd love to know which chipset (eg IDE driver) this is, so I can check the driversource for this.
Reliance Open South Bridge (ROSB3) chipset
Works with RH 7.2 RC2.
Works with RH 7.2 RC2. -> closing as fixed
