From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Trying to install RH 8.0 on a Toshiba Portege 3440ct booting from a usb-floppy drive and with a pcmcia connected cdrom the booting starts ok, but after answering the questions about language during installation and keybord the install program offers only a hard drive installation (asking for the partition on which the images/packages are located). Notice, the very same installation procedure worked no problem for RH 7.3. I have tried also with a downloaded pcmcia.img and verified the problem is not due to a particualar problem with the pcmcia.img copied from the cd-set. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pcmcia.img from RH8.0 cd1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot laptop with pcmcia.img in usb-floppy drive and rh cd 1 in pcmcia cdrom drive 2.Answer install questions (graphics/text, language, keybord) 3.Program asks for partition on harddisk with install software. Actual Results: Installation had to stop. Expected Results: Boot program should either identify the pcmcia cdrom itself or ask for the pcmciadd.img. (pcmcia.img offering a harddrive install is absurd). Additional info:
Are there any messages on tty3 or tty4 about finding the pcmcia controller?
