Description of Problem: Tried to install new RPMS after doing a fresh install of RC1. mount complained that /dev/cdrom was not a valid block device. I checked to see if /dev/cdrom was correctly linked to /dev/hdd and that the kernel saw /dev/hdd as a CDrom. (Both checked out fine) Dmesg claimed that ide-fd.o was being loaded and when I check lsmod no cdrom or ide-cd.o module was loaded. Hand insmoding the modules allowed for the kernel to successfully mount the cdrom. Rebooted machine and problem re-occured. Need fix to add to /etc/modules.conf before I can 'deploy' RC1 on wifes computer and other test boxes.
msw, do we have to start putting all the IDE modules on initrds again?
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
ide-fd.o is this a typo or deliberate ?
Also, does it still happen after running "depmod -ae" ?
Ack sorry for the delay. The fix is to do a 'depmod -ae' Tech support will need this in their knowledgebase.
did we not get a modules.dep in the final i386 kernel?
depmod -ae is run in %post of the kernel, so it should create one then. Why it doesn't in this case is beyond my understanding.
I have not had this problem with any of the 7.2.9x betas. Please close
