During install of LM 8.1 or RH7.2, not DemoLinux 3::: Unfortuantely, after the initial setup/ welcome screen using the boot disk and bootable CD-ROM, the setup said that it couldn't find an installation CD in the CD-ROM. The error message is as follows: "I can't access a Mandrake-Linux Installation disk in your CDROM Drive". By looking in the setup log I also saw some of these messages: <4>ide0: Drive 1 didn't accept speed setting, Oh well <4>hdb: Status timed-out <4>hdb: DMA Disabled <4>hdb: drive not ready for command <4>isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=3.40, iso_blknum=151339 and other stuff like this
If you guys don't know of any solutions off the top of your heads then I guess I'll see if we can get it up and runing at the Installfest. Thanks. ///////// He has a DFI motherboard with Award BIOS. bios version is current. CD rom is primary slave, HD is primary master This problem also occurs when using RedHat 7.2 and Mandrake 8.1 We tried two copies of the installmedia, so the disk wasn't bad. Demo Linux boots just fine off of the CD-Rom. ///////// I built the computer myself and currently I have Win 98 and Win 2K on two seperate primary partitions. Then I used PartitionMagic 5.0 to create a Linux partition. Anyway, the CD-ROM is bootable, but since I was having trouble with just booting off the CD-ROM I tried it again with a bootdisk. I think that I'm using the cdrom.img file if that is what you mean by the image file - the actual CD is from MandrakeSoft. Also, windows has no trouble booting from the CD-ROM.
