A boot time loader command? had that problem with rh8 on ibm netfinity 5000. it worked with mandrake 8.x at the same time. it was a problem with the scsi driver (some special version of the aic7xxx). with rh7.2 (which had the problem too) there was a workaround to specify the old aic7xxx driver during boot (don't remember exactly but it was a kernel boot option). the workaround didn't work with rh8. I knew I had to build a custom driver diskette but I didn't know how to do that at this time (and got no help from lists...) so I switched to mandrake on those servers. actually ibm netfinity 5000/5500 servers have an ide cdrom drive, and on board scsi controlers. for whatever reason, the bios emulates a scsi cdrom drive (you can see this during boot when scsi controlers are fired up). so thought the cdrom is an ide device, the kernel doesn't see it once loaded because the scsi driver isn't good !!! that was all to say that your problem might be a device driver problem relative to the cdrom drive. the bios loads the loader, the loader loads the kernel, and once loaded the kernel doesn't see the drive(s). if you have builtin adaptec scsi controler, the quickest test will be done by trying and installing a old mandrake (8 works for sure in this case) hth -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
