Description of Problem: The install process tries to load the module for sbpcd CD ROM and fails Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.2 CD ROMs How Reproducible: Happens every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start install process 2. at the CD ROM step, tell it you have an sbpcd CD ROM 3. insert driver disk when told to Actual Results: Says it is loading the sbpcd driver, waits a while, then says it couldn't load it Expected Results: Should have loaded the driver and proceeded Additional Information: I also tried mounting the CD ROM on a 7.1 system, kernel 2.4.2.2, and it fails. Trying to insmod the sbpcd module by hand results in unresolved symbols reported. So perhaps this has been broken for some time.
I too was unable to install 7.2 without specifying module parameters first. However, I was able to set the appropriate module parameters manually to get it working. My sbpcd is attached to a SoundBlaster card and the sbpcd IO port is 0x230 (the SB itself is on 0x220). By selecting 'specify module parameters': sbpcd=0x230,1 ...I was able to install just fine. Apparently, without the module parameters, it was looking for a sbpcd on 0x340 without success. For the record, no module parms were needed with 2.2.14 as shipped with Redhat 7.0, which was the previous installation. -Craig
