https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384275 Summary: CD-ROM not found because of not loaded module. Same module missing in initrd after install -> unuseable system Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vodicka.petr@email.cz QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- If i try to install OpenSUSE 11 Beta 1 64bit no my home server (Celeron 420, MB Foxconn P4M9007MB - VIA P4M900 chipset, PATA HDD), instalation fails and enters text mode and shows "unable to find cd-rom" (I am using different language, so message will by slightly different). It's because of not loaded module 'ide-generic'. Solution is to load it manually in text mode and choose "Start system installation/upgrade". After this, everything works fine till reboot. It's because of installation does not include module 'ide-generic' to initrd ram disk, so /dev/hda is not accesible for kernel after reboot. In OpenSUSE 10.3 solution would be to boot with DVD and choose "other options" a "start installed system" from graphics menu and after system start add module to /etc/sysconfig/kernel and make new initrd with mkinitrd script. But this is not possible in OpenSUSE 11 anymore because of missing "start installed system" in installation system. I think, that there is no way how to force installation to make initrd with aditional modules, so I had to copy initrd to another PC, unzip it and add 'ide-generic' module manually and modifi modules.dep file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
