fedora 10 installation not going ahead due to SATA driver related issues
. I am trying to install fedora 10 on this laptop, http://www.hclstore.in/hcl_leaptop_k38.html from a DVD drive. . I get the following on the console after the installation starts. I'm unable to capture them in their entirety as they scroll off in a flash. Please note that the below is handwritten. " . . . . . . Handwritten summary: scsi0 : ahci scsi1 : ahci ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m8...@0xf0784000 port 0xf0784100 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m8...@0xf0784000 port 0xf0784100 ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) . . . " After going ahead I get a TUI which prompts me for the media containing the installation media. After I answer with a "CD/DVD" I get a message box asking me to select the driver. The exact message is " Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk. " I then am prompted to select one of the innumerable drivers listed. I am assuming here that I should pick a driver for my DVD drive. Anyway, no matter which driver I pick up, the installation doesn't move forward. Could you please help me with this issue. Do let me know of any more details that would be needed. Also if you could let me know the time(and timezone) you would be active I could be online the same time so that I could get back to you with more required information.

Do you get as far as the menu that offers you the option of testing the media? If so, test the DVD to make sure it burned correctly. If you do not get that far, then you probably have a bad DVD. Try re-burning it at a slower speed.

Specifically the menu's I encounter are . Select the language . Select the media which has the the installation image . Driver not found. Select the driver manually > you do not get that far, then you probably have a bad DVD. Try > re-burning it at a slower speed. I re-burned the DVD with the iso image at the slowest permissible speed in my software(2X) and tried again. I still encounter the same problem. What else could I do? -Abhijith -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

What else could I do? Check that you have the latest BIOS installed. Have you installed any previous version of Fedora? It could be a kernel problem with F10. Try F8 just for testing. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I was able to go ahead with the installation with this. Thanks.
