Ok, as a follow up to this install problem.
I have re-downloaded and re-burned the ISOs. I tried the burned CDs again
on 5 different machines:
Old P133 Desktop
Production RH6.2 SCSI running off an adaptec 7880 SCSI
A new Dual P3-866 all-scsi system
A dell Dimension with a DVD-ROM drive (normally my Windows
desktop)
Home-built P3-800 with an IDE Philips CD-RW
On each system, it boots fine, sees the CD, I enter "text" as the install
mode, and then it will come to an end where you need to define where yo
install the system from. In each case, in the diagnostics windows, I see
"* trying to mount device sdc0" (or hdc or wherever the drive is). It
apparently can't find something mountable, but I can still boot the disk
fine.
Finally, I put the disk into a functional RH6.2 system and did a simple
"mount /dev/cdrom /mnt" and it mounted fine as a Joliet disc.
I've tried 3 different brands of CD-R discs and two different burners.
Anyone have any last ideas before I schedule going mad? As I said, all of
these systems worked with my Wolverine ISOs so I doubt anything
significant has changed.
Weird eh?
