From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 Description of problem: When installing RH 9 on my Sony Vaio z505hs from the pcmcia cdrom drive, the install freezes when "goint to activate device using ide-cs" (from the F3 console) I haven't had any problems with this since 6.2 when I had to pass "ide2=0x180,0x386" to the kernel at boot. This no longer works and It still hangs. I also tried booting from a floppy and using the pcmciadd.img disc.. The same problem still happens when it tries to activate the cdrom. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot from RH 9.0 cdrom 2.wait 3. Actual Results: Same results Expected Results: Start installation Additional info:
same problem here, just with a vaio pcg-z600lek. with prior version 8, pc-card-cdrom was detected and ran flawlessly under gnome. i finally installed rh9 from hd, but now it won't mount pc-card-cdrom at all.
I have the same issue on a Sony PCG-Z505JS. Trying to install RH9, and tried the boot: linux ide2=0x180,0x386 expert. No go. Just hangs after asking for driver disks. All newsgroups state to try a net install throught the onboard NIC. Have not atempted this yet.
