From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: downloaded RH9 iso and burned to CD. booted to installer with CD, and prompted for language and then key board. then prompted for iso location choose local CD Rom and prompted to choose a device driver the only one listed is a USB mass storage device, when selected device cannot be detected, and only other choice to supply a driver diskette. i am attempting to load on a SONY VAIO laptop that uses an external CD rom with a PCIMCIA interface, that I successfully loaded RH8 on with no such problem. Please advise. Regards, John Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from CD 2. 3. Expected Results: IF the installation is running from the CD ROM, it should not require further detection. Additional info:
in attempt to work around created driver diskette using rawrite and specifing image file drvblock.img from rh9 cd1. installer could not find compatible driver.
Mike do we have similar PCMCIA hardware to test this configuration?
Please bear in mind that although this CD ROM uses a PCMCIA interface is in an ATAPI CD ROM. Also I burned a CD using the PMCIA boot image and it did not run the installer at all.
There is an outstanding bug (bug#83668) with RHL-9 regarding a Sony vaio pcmcia cdrom (PCGA-CD51/A) not working. Not all pcmcia cdroms are affected (the traveller 3220 pcmcia cdrom I have works fine with RHL-9). This may be a dup of bug#83668. John, when you attempt your install from pcmcia cdrom, do you see any message like "ide-cs: GetNextTuple: No more items" on VC3? Also could you try to install via a different method (nfs, http, harddrive, etc) and check whether or not the pcmcia cdrom works post-install?
can you supply a driver diskette that works?
There is not a driver disk to fix bug#83668 that I know of. Can you please help me determine whether or not you are encountering the same problem or a different one? * when you attempt your install from pcmcia cdrom, do you see any message like "ide-cs: GetNextTuple: No more items" on VC3? * if you install via a different method, does the cdrom work post-install?
this may be a dupe, but I do not receive the errors that that you listed. I have also tried to install with a MicroSolutions 163550 CDROM and aboot diskette but my results have not changed.
I also tried to load the pcmcia.img image from diskette, and it makes the install hang.
I was reading the bug 83668, and saw that RH9 was already installed on their system and once the CD ROM was added they received that error. My problem occurs during the install process, what is troubling is that my issue has not been addressed in any way, whatsoever. The install runs from this CDROM a PCG- CD51/A and loads it, If the installer runs from the CDROM why then does it need additional drivers?
Booting with 'linux pci=off ide1=0x180,0x386' should allow this to work.
I tried this command line, it still prompted for a driver diskette, please supply me with one.
Just say that you don't need one and continue on
It does not work if you continue, and choose the local CD ROM as the source for the install files, the install program states that it cannot be found, please supply a driver diskette!!!
Hello, So I have had this same problem with the Ninja cdrom for My Sony Viao laptop. In the end I borrowed a friends sony dvd-rom drive and was able to install with out any problems ... Once installed I tried my cdrom drive again and ... I was given the error you noted above... "ide-cs: GetNextTuple: No more items" Redhat 8 and 7.3 do not have this problem. Debain woody does, Gentoo1.4 install Image does, and Mandrake9.1 . In the end I used a RH 7.3 installer in rescue mode to then built the system by hand. Tared up all the tools I needed, copied them onto the Window$ partition, mounted the window$ part. untared the tools and build a gentoo laptop... As my laptop is slow I am now going back to Redhat 8 in order to get updates faster than overnight. I would LOVE to run Redhat 9 as I do on my PC at work. Please figure out what is wrong with the installer/ide-cd driver. If I had the time I would look at the diff of the two versions used in 8 and 9. Just in case I try to look at this... what have you (Red Hat) looked at thus far... have you seen this error. Do you know what causes it? Thanks
Are we ever going to get some resolution?
There was a change between 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 that seems to have caused this (and it might be partially related to the port range changes to stop crashing Radeon IGP as well)
that's really nice, but i reported this bug in June, in three months I have not gotten resolution. I work for a company that is a top ten ATT client, as well as being listed in the top fifty in the info week 500. As a result of the numerous problems that RH9 has, my company has utilized RH8 in on of the few Linux solution we deliver. It is disappointing to realize that your product will never be an adequate solution to replace windows as a end user OS, but based on my experience here, you've done nothing but confirm it.
I can't reproduce this. I've got to specify the arguments mentioned in comment #10, but that's always been the case since I first got my vaio. The only difference in recent times has been requirement of the pci=off argument. With these specified, my vaio happily installs from CD on RHL9 and Fedora.
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/
