After I installed a minimal base system (took 1 hour for <100M waiting for timeouts) I was able to copy the files off the cdrom and run rpmdrake to install the rest of the toys. I also noticed a bug in rpmdrake during this process. When I selected packages from both CDs I wasn't prompted to insert the proper CD, it just bailed. I got around this by copying all the files to my hard disk (i was fortunate to have >1.2g free on /home for the files) I also tried my BusLogic adapter, which was detected as a BusLogig but the BusLogic.o module was nowhere to be found. This happened with the boot image on the CD itself as well as all the images under /images/alternatives. -dwild

What if you try to install with the relevant boot floppy from /images/alternatives ?

I have also seen two reports about this on mandrakeexpert.com from today. Looks like there is urgent need for an update...

I've a similiar problem with scsi, but worse:-) I'm trying to install Mandrake 8.0 on a scsi only system, with the aic7xxx and ncr53c8xx modules and geting the same kinds of timeouts and retries. Sometime it succeeds after a long while in insmod'ing the aic7xxx and then loops trying do load the other scsi-module. What to do, I can't even install? /Lennart

[Cooker] 8.0 has problems with Adaptec aic7xxx ???
Hello, I've just installed Mdk-8.0 on my system, and I must say it's very nice! I have a problem anyway... When I was trying to install from my scsi cdrom it needed about 9 hours, so I stopped and installed from dvd-rom (eide): it needed 16 minutes... so ok. Now I am installing some rpm from scsi cdrom, and it's unbelievably slow! It starts and then stops for 30-40 seconds. In /var/log/messages I can found those lines: Apr 21 10:51:25 monster kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Apr 21 10:51:25 monster kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Command found on device queue Apr 21 10:51:25 monster kernel: aic7xxx_abort returns 8194 Apr 21 10:51:58 monster kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Apr 21 10:51:58 monster kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Command found on device queue Apr 21 10:51:58 monster kernel: aic7xxx_abort returns 8194 Apr 21 10:52:33 monster kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Apr 21 10:52:33 monster kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Command found on device queue Apr 21 10:52:33 monster kernel: aic7xxx_abort returns 8194 Apr 21 10:52:33 monster rpm: pine-4.30-3mdk installed Apr 21 10:52:34 monster rpm: gkrellm-1.0.7-1mdk installed Apr 21 10:52:34 monster rpm: gkrellm-devel-1.0.7-1mdk installed Apr 21 10:52:35 monster rpm: gtktalog-0.15.1-1mdk installed But it's fine with 7.2, winxx, and al previous beta/rc of mdk-8.0 Anyone has this problems and/or know the solution?
