I don't know that scsi would have any special requirements but I was wondering what the differences would be from Fedora 5 and Fedora 10 and I suppose that you could compare /etc/modprobe.conf from the 2 installations. It sort of sounds like there is a problem with your initrd but I can't tell. ----- jbyers: html? my apologies, i had no idea. I guess i need some info in gmail how not to do that. in my gmail setting Outgoing message encoding: Use default text encoding for outgoing messages <<selected Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages nothing here explicitly HTML i will try the utf-8 I dont know how to decipher initrd problems. I know how to unpack an initrd.img and examine init and make minor changes and repack. I have used mkinitrd on my fc5 to add in usb_storage I will look into comparing modprobe.conf f10 vs fc5, but i am really trying to divorce the f10 install from fc5, and fc5 modprobe syntax,etc might be wrong for f10? ------ craig: At this point, having rhgb and quiet removed from grub boot options should give you a fair amount of information at startup and I probably wouldn't be using scsi_mod.scan=sync at this point because that seems to be more of a tuning thing but I don't know what it actually would do. jbyers: well, my experience was that using scsi_mod.scan=sync was necessary to get me beyond "cant find /dev/root" errors. It is easy enough to retry without scsi_mod.scan=sync in combination with rhgb and quiet removed, so will do that next. However, f10 commonproblems( or release notes) seemed pretty clear that it was necessary. Evidently fixed in mkinitrd-6.0.71-3.fc10, but my f10dvd version is i think mkinitrd-6.0.71.fc10. craig: you could always append 'acpi=off' as a kernel parameter but that is a rather drastic measure, you didn't seem to need it in order to install F10 so I would want to look at the debugging info on the startup screen for more information at this point. jbyers: yes, altho i think the screen went blank on me, after getting to .. Xserver so it is difficult to see much. Will try acpi-off also thanks for your continuing response Jack -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
