Rescue mode w/ PCMCIA CDROM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I was trying to rescue a Red Hat 7.3 laptop using a Red Hat 9 CD#1.  
Should this be possible?

If I try to boot into rescue mode using CD#1 on a PCMCIA CDROM the boot 
process gets as far as allowing language selection and then asks for the 
location of the rescue image.  If I select CDROM then it fails to find 
the device.

If I try to pass the flag `cdrom=hdc' to the kernel then the boot 
process shows that it fails to find the CDROM.  I note from an earlier 
email that Arjan van der Ven has a test kernel to fix PCMCIA problems 
including this CDROM not found problem.

Thanks for any suggestions.

(ps I sent a version of this mail many hours ago and it has not shown up 
on the list yet.  I'm assuming that it's disappeared into the aether and 
I apologize if this ends up being a repeat posting)
