try booting with "linux ide=nodma" at the boot: prompt
I tried linux ide=nodma. It did exactly the same again. The output from the ALT-F4 screen shows the following errors (last lines of the log): <7>ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A <4>Unable to indentify CD-ROM format. <4>hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } <4>hda: command error: error=0x54 <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 1045976 <6>raid0 personality registered as nr 2 <6>raid1 personality registered as nr 3 <6>raid5: measuring checksumming speed <4> 8regs : 1536.000 MB/sec <4> 32regs : 857.600 MB/sec <4> pII_mmx : 2098.800 MB/sec <4> p5_mmx : 2214.400 MB/sec <4>raid5: using function: p5_mmx (2214.400 MB/sec) <6>raid5 personality registered as nr 4
These errors point to bad media or drive or controller or cable. <4>hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } <4>hda: command error: error=0x54 <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 1045976
The Red Hat 7.0 CD set works ok as does the 'Roswell' beta version. I have also tried the 7.1 media in another machine (different spec) and that works fine. If I was to use the Roswell version, how far from full release is it? IE is it likely to be a few package updates which I could apply at the time of full release or are there likely to be major differences? The server will be used as a central web/mail server.
Closing: this bug relates to what seems to be a media error one drive hits not others, and to an install kernel with ide/cd code that is no longer related to the code we ship in RH 9.
