Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions? Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please try a daily image instead (which uses 2.6.17). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No. It is only present for sparc64 but missing for sparc32 (again with 17. Oct netinst image, todays not tried). Hmm. I doubt that. If I check the contents of an initrd for the same CD image you used (sparc netinst from 17-10) I see: /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-sparc32/kernel/fs/isofs/isofs.ko I retried it. When CD mounting failed, I switched to Alt-F2 and did find /lib/modules -name '*iso*' This yielded /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-sparc64/kernel/fs/isofs /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-sparc64/kernel/fs/isofs/isofs.ko and nothing more. /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-sparc32/kernel does not contain the fs subdir, only drivers. -- Meelis Roos ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If I check the contents of an initrd for the same CD image you used (sparc netinst from 17-10) I see: /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-sparc32/kernel/fs/isofs/isofs.ko So AFAICT it is available. pgp3zvGZiUgkJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

The try with serial console did detect both SCSI devices fine but failed to mount CD. Digging around showed that iso 9660 filesystem was not available in /proc/filesystems and could not be modprobed either. The isofs module should be available in the initrd. Is it not? No. It is only present for sparc64 but missing for sparc32 (again with 17. Oct netinst image, todays not tried). -- Meelis Roos ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jurij Smakov tells me that the problems with the esp driver for CD-ROM access is a known issue in current kernels and AIUI not resolved for 2.6.18 either. Jurij said he'll try to work on it, but also that you've been known to hack on such issues yourself :-) > The try with serial console did detect both SCSI devices fine but failed > to mount CD.

Could you perhaps try a netboot install for this box? Please follow up to this report. Cheers, FJP pgpso7Lcc0rmY.pgp Description: PGP signature
