Have you tested the CD media? A 'linux mediacheck' on the target machine results in the same error: that it cannot "see" the CD. I don't have another machine on which I can run the mediacheck, at the moment. However, I can tell you that this media was used to install another machine successfully. Also, I was able to mount the 3 install CDs and copy their contents to another box, so that I could complete the installation of the ML350 box via NFS. Finally, the RedHat Linux 8.0 install works on the target machine. This sounds like either a kernel or hardware issue. May be related to bug 92162. I have also been experiencing this problem with a new machine. The drive in question is a SONY CDU5221 in my case. I am able to install 7.2 on the machine, but 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0 can't see the CDROM. I suspect the problem lies in the upgrade in the ide-cdrom driver version from 4.59 to 4.59-ac1. After installing RedHat 7.2 on the new machine, I can mount and read the installation disks in the CDROM drive for each uninstallable versions. If, during the install of 7.3, 8.0 or 9.0, I attempt to set hdc=cdrom, the installer crashes with a kernel panic. 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/ |
