Description of problem: When trying to run the RedHat 9 installer, I am able to boot off of the CD-ROM just fine. However, once I select an option and the kernel is loaded, the CD-ROM stops working. This is a Dell PowerEdge 1650 with (I believe) a TEAC slimline CD-ROM. As the kernel messages pass by, I see the kernel attempting to set a speed on the CD-ROM and an error occuring, I'm assuming this is the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert RedHat 9 disc 1 2. boot computer 3. select any option 4. watch as the installer loses the CD-ROM Actual results: I am unable to use the CD-ROM to install RedHat, I had to install over the network. Expected results: The installer's kernel should not set bad CD-ROM parameters Additional info:
exact error seems to be:hda set_drive_speed_status
doh... exact error appears to be: hda : set_drive_speed_status: error=0x04
Would appear to be a kernel issue.
set_speed_status being rejected is fine. I need to know the messages about the IDE leading up to the fail
sorry, i only had the one 1650 free and have since deployed it into production. i'm getting more in, but it'll be awhile. dell has released a boot image that works though, perhaps that would help? it's available at http://support.dell.com/FileLib/Format.aspx?c=us&l=en&ReleaseID=R59144. if the ticket is still open when i get my other 1650's in i'll grab the ide message.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
