Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 72169
/modules/module-info not found errors
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:45:46 EDT
Description of Problem: I've installed both limbo-1 and limbo-2 successfully on this laptop, but I'm having issues with null. I use pcmcia.img and pcmciadd.img from the null distribution, and I can successfully boot up, specify language and install medium. I am installing over the network, so right after anaconda downloads netstg1.img, I am getting the following error: failed to read /modules/module-info Looking at other consoles, I am seeing this on Alt-F4: (4) Unable to identify CD-ROM format. (4) VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev loop(7,0). This laptop doesn't have a CD-ROM, but I'm not sure that is relevant. The pcmciadd.img floppy is still in the drive at the time this error occurs, and apparently anaconda is accessing it. How Reproducible: I can reproduce this every time. Moreover, I've tried several install servers just to make sure that this is not happening because of a fubarred image on redhat.dulug.duke.edu. Same result -- dies right after downloading netstg1.img. Additional information: This is an older laptop I use for testing purposes. It's a P2-366 with 190Mb RAM. It doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, so the only way I can install on it is via the pcmcia card.
Those other errors are probably unrelated. We've seen this issue as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71839 ***
