From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: I try to install RH8.0 on a system with the following specs : - AMD Athlon - 500 MHz - 256 MB RAM - 3Ware ATA RAID Controller : Escalade 7000-2, containing 2 HDD (MAXTOR 6L080J4, 80 GB) - Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra SCSI controller with 3 CD-ROMS (Plexttor UltraPlex 40Max) and 3 DVD-ROMS (Pioneer DVD-303) I install the system booting from the RedHat CD-ROM. The CD-ROM media test is successful. Short after the installer switches to X Windows (after successfully probing the video card, mouse and monitor) and briefly showing the RedHat logo, the install routine breaks with the follwing console messages : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 639, in ? iutil.makeDriveDeviceNodes() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 420, in makeDriveDeviceNodes isys.makeDevInode(drive,"/dev/%s" % (drive,)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 265, in makeDevInode _isys.mkdevinode(name,fn) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') install exited abnormally Can somebody help me out? Kind regards, Bart. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from SCSI CD-ROM on a system using a 3Ware controller 2. Launch install using the GUI or text mode Additional info:
Mike do we have a 3Ware setup like this to test with?
For completeness : - The main board is Asus K7M with AMI BIOS from 08/02/2000 - After upgrading the BIOS and the firmware of the Adaptec host adapter the install error still remains - Launching the installation with the "nodma" and "noprobe" kernel parameter did not solve the error either - FirmWare versions info : * 3Ware ATA RAID controller : FE7X 1.05.00.036 * Adaptec AHA-2940 host adapter : v2.20.0
Mike have you been able to take a look and see if we have this test configuration available?
This is a dupe of another bug where we mishandled having more than 2 scsi cdrom drives. It's fixed in newer releases.
