Description of problem:
Booting from a boot.img created floppy causes the machine to crash if a
cdrom is attached.  The board is a Versalogic VSBC7 with an AMD 550MHz cpu

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create boot floppy from boot.img; plug in cdrom to either ide controller
2.boot machine	
3.
	

Actual Results:  "oops" message and installer quits before ever prompting
the user for any info.  It never reaches GUI mode

Expected Results:  We should've been able to install 7.2 from the CD-ROM,
but instead had to unplug the CD-ROM drive and do an NFS install.

Additional info:

We tried three different CD-ROMs - same problem.  We also tried ide=nodma,
and the noprobe flag, as well as things like hdc=cdrom.  Nothing worked. 
The only solution is to unplug the drive from the IDE connector.  The
CD-ROM drives also aren't recognized during a normal boot of a completed
"server" installation.  RedHat 7.1 boots fine from boot.img floppy and
recognizes CD-ROM for installation purposes.
