Hi

I downloaded and burnt the ISO yesterday all md5 sums are good on the ISO's,

But it wont install, it keeps hanging on

<6>ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<6>ide-cd: cmd 0x3 timed out

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<6>ide-cd: cmd 0x3 timed out

This continues for anouther 10 lines or so then i get

<4>hdc: ATAPI 32x DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048KB Cache, UDMA(33)

<6>Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<6>ide-cd: cmd 0x25 timed out

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<6>ide-cd: cmd 0x25 timed out

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

<4>hdc: lost interrupt

So any ideas as to what is happening.

It keeps adding "<4>hdc: lost interrupt" now about once every 3-4 mins, it took about half an hour to get this far.

I have re-burnt the ISO at a lower speed as well just in case that was the problem, but is still the same.

I am installing it on to my old 13gb fujitsu HD which is working fine, or at least seems to be fine.

Ok i have just had a look at the log ALT+F3 and it seems that it can't find a file here is what it says

needs keybdev

file-not-found-in-archive keybdev.ko (maybe you can try anouther boot floppy such as 'hdcdrom_usb.mg')

warning, insmod failed (keybdev (null)) (2)

Automatic: parameter cdrom for method means returning CDROM drivw

have to insmod ide-cd

needs cdrom

needs ide-cd

So what gives?

Cheers

Hi

Ok i have tried a few things now.

Some body on another forum asked is i am using an LG CD drive.

Well i am a LG GSA 4040b DVD RW Burner

I have also just tried it from my Creative DVD rom drive, the same thing happens.

I am now trying Red Hat 9, i have had this installed before so i know that the disks or ok, but it is hanging aswell

The last 3 lines on my screen at the moment is

PCI : 00:03.2 PCI cache line size set incorrectly (32 bytes ) by BIOS/FW

PCI : 00:03.2 PCI cache line size too large - expecting 16

ehci-hdc 00:03.2 USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Jan-22

.

Is there some sort of problem installing either mandrake or redhat from a DVD Rom drive. i ask this as the last time i installed mandrake 9 or red hat 9 i had a normal cd rom dirive in the system.

Knoppix 3.1 wont even install/load, i get the error: only one processor found. ???

cheers

Tony

Hi powerless

Yes that is German, it just say that the guy disabled USB Legacy Support in his bios, the only thing it done was stop his keyboard working.

I am currently in a dissussion Here on the LinuxISO forums.

I will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for your help so far.

Tony
