| Post subject: | R6 on Intel DG965WH |
I have had knoppmyth running previously (a couple revs ago) on a system I built modeled on the Dragon. It uses an Intel DG965WH motherboard. For the previous version or two, and now including R6, I can't get it to install. The splashscreen comes up and starts the install from CD, then it looks like it suddenly can't find the PATA CD-ROM drive or the SATA hard drive. In previous versions I tried both the dragon option and the intel-fix option. It didn't help. According to Intel, I should set my HD in the BIOS to AHCI (with a SATA drive). This works fine with the existing old version of knoppmyth. So... now with R6, I get the following... it boots from the CD to the splash screen and begins installing. The install quickly fails with this: (I have no way to capture the screen, so excuse the abbreviations) EXT2-fs: sda1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4). ... not /dev/sda1 ... not /dev/sda2 EXT-fs warning (device sda3): ext_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 ... /dev/sda3 mounted but no 'larch/larchboot' found :: Searching for USB CD ROMS .. attempt to access beyond end of device sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4 isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16 ... not /dev/sr0 This repeats then eventually says: ERROR: Sorry, couldn't find boot medium ... According to Intel tech support, you need to use the following options when installing linux: - Use the boot parameter: all-generic-ide - use the boot parameter: pci=nommconf But I don't see how I can enter them??h Any ideas? I'd REALLY like to make my system work with a new rev! |

Good luck with your problem. R6 does not seem to support the ability to interrupt the cd grub boot and add parameters. I couldn't get it to install either, and have had no answers to this thread. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19796 Not exactly the same problem but the same symptom that you can't install it. I tried to install Arch, and was able to interrupt the boot and add additional parms but still could not even get a standalone ARCH to install. Tim |

I have not tried with 6.00.08, but I thought you could press <TAB> and edit the kernel boot parameters. See the comments made by Cecil here regarding an unrelated issue. |

Wish I had known that a month ago. I tried the method used by Arch. E, to edit and then press 'B' to boot. |

Interesting. Any suggestions on which options to try? |

How can I enter more than one option? |

If you're using R6 (GRUB) you can simply string them together. I dunno about R5.5 (LILO) but I would think the same would apply. Example /boot/grub/menu.lst from my Arch box using bootchart: Code: title Arch Linux
root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet vga=773 init=/sbin/bootchartd initrd /boot/kernel26.img |
