Re: cdrom problem during installation
I did not have a CD at hand so they way I circumvented the problem was to kept opening the CD door until the installation program resumed somehow.

Putting a CD in the drive does solve the problem. My computer at work has got a Toshiba ATAPI CDROM player and does not show this problem. It think the installation instructions should talk about this problem and give the fix. It's better than releasing yet another boot disk with no CDROM support at all, uh? :) -- Farzad FARID Administrateur Reseau SGIP - Publicis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Gee, these CD drivers are no fun at all. Did you try placing a CD in the drive? (or removing the CD?). Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.

cdrom problem during installation
I had a problem with the Sony CDU 311 CDROM during a floppy installation. The cdrom drive was recognized fine. During the menu driven installation phase, I kept getting messages hdc: media changed hdc: media changed hdc: tray open or drive not ready hdc: irq timeout : status = 0xd0 hdc: ATAPI RESET complete hdc: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x53 ascq: 0x00 etc, etc, etc the cdrom light would keep falshing. I tried turning the cdrom drive off in the BIOS but it didn't help What can I do, please help. --- Alexander Lobkovsky Phone: (805) 893-3684 Institute for Theoretical Physics Fax: (805) 893-2431 University of CaliforniaEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Santa Barbara, CA 93106-4030WWW: http://rainbow.uchicago.edu/~lobkovsk --- -- This message was delayed because the list mail delivery agent was down.
