Lo ppl!
I am trying to install Red Hat 8.0 on a new Compaq Presario 920EA laptop. The laptop is an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and has 256 meg RAM and a 30 gigabyte hard disk drive. The CD-ROM drive is a "Thoshiba DVD-ROM SD-r2312".
I have successfully used the same CDs to install RH 8.0 on other computer. (AMD athlon 1600+ etc...)
The computer seems to boot successfully from the CD; and the
installation dialog moves along through the first few screens in
which one selects language and keyboard type. Then the "...Red Hat
Linux CD was not found..." message comes up and I can get no
further.
The alt-F3 log shows:
* module(s) usb-ohci not found
* inserted /tmp/mii.o
/tmp/8139too.o: init_module
Hint: insmod errors can be caused b incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
* failed to insert /tmp/8139too.o
* load module set done
* probing buses
* finished bus probing
* modules to insert 8139too usb-ohci
* module(s) usb--ohci not found
/tmp/8139too.o: init_module

* failed to insert /tmp/8139too.o
* load module set done
* trying to mound device hdc
The alt-F4 log shows:
<4>hdc: status error: status=0x00 { }
<4>hdc: ATAPI reset complete
<4>end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 64
<4>isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=16:00, iso_blknm=16, block=32
I was thinking that perhaps I need a special CD-ROM driver...
Thanks for any help.
