Hi,
I'm running RHEL WS v4 on a Dell Dimension 9100 with an ATI X600SE video card. To get the machine up and running I had to enter into the BIOS and change the BIOS settings to Combination so it would read both SATA and ATA drives. Then I installed Redhat from installtion CDs and now have kernel 2.6.9-5.ELsmp running on my machine. However, the output of df -h is :
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 981M 258M 673M 28% /
/dev/hda1 99M 14M 81M 15% /boot
none 1013M 0 1013M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda8 125G 1.7G 117G 2% /home
/dev/hda2 9.7G 55M 9.1G 1% /opt
/dev/hda3 9.7G 2.8G 6.4G 31% /usr
/dev/hda6 981M 75M 856M 9% /var
So instead of my drive being mounted as a SATA drive it seems to be mounted as a IDE drive.
In a problem that I believe is related in some way, I cannot update my kernel. If I run up2date the newest kernel installs with no problem, then I reboot and the machine dies with the following error message:
Code:
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
ide0: I/O resource 0x1F0-01f7 not free
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.6 starting
mkrootdev: label / not found
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
kernel panic - not syncing Attempt to kill init!
Does anyone have any ideas why I cannont install the newest kernel? And why my drive is not recognized as a SATA drive? Thanks very much.
