Here at work we just got a new system to use for a file server, P4 2.6,
1GB RAM, and two 250GB hard drives in a RAID 1 array (built in raid
controller).
Two questions,
The first, what would the recommendation be between RedHat 9 or Fedora?
I have not used Fedora yet but quite liked Redhat 9.
Second question is presently more important. I'm trying a CD install,
but it is stalling. No error messages, it just kind of hangs while
looking at ide1. The hard drives have absolutely no formatting
whatsoever, but I didn't think that it mattered.
Here is the last few lines of the boot:
PCI: Enabling device 00:1f.1 (0005 -> 007)
ICH5: chipset revision 2
ICH5: 100% native mode on irq 5
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xef60-0xef67, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xef68-0xef6f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hdc: LTN526S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide1 at 0xefa0-0xefa7, 0xefaa on irq 5
Then it just sits there forever. I had a similar problem about a year
ago, ended up being a bad hard drive. I tried booting with noprobe but
with the same result.
Any suggestions?
