I have tried 2004.0 and 2004.1 and I have gotten no dice on boot. It will only boot to busy box. This CD-ROM is device /dev/sr0 under gentoo (after installation) which I've only been able to install with knoppix 2.4, but the latest incarnation of knoppix has problems too so I'd like to see if this is fixable somehow. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put 2004.1 in USB bootable CD-ROM drive 2. Boot 3. Busybox I will be keeping an eye on this bug, so any information you need please Also here's a few lines from the dmesg from the distribution (not from the live-cd) ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) ohci_hcd: block sizes: ed 64 td 64 ohci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: irq 6, pci mem e002f000 ohci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2 scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-210PU Rev: 10A3 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 10x/10x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda pop-up Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2
This is blocking me from installing, marking as such.
try one of the 2004.2 test isos, available at: http://dev.gentoo.org/~wolf31o2/releng
Still the same thing :(. I don't know how/if I can give more details, but it's still a no-go, although the problem seems to be fixed in the latest knoppix. Again, any way I can help please let me know :)
What error does it get?
OK, once again copying reading->keyboard so if there's any misspellings or errors I apologize in advance, >> Mounting filesystems... Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /newroot/dev >> Attempting to mount CD:- /newroot/dev/cdroms/* >> Attempting to mount CD:- /newroot/dev/ide/cd/* Busybox v1.00-pre7 (2004.06.03-14:35+0000) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/ash: can't access tty; job control turned off /# ---the end--- Also, cat /proc/partitions doesn't show the CD device.
OK, I found out my problem and I have to add doscsi to the beginning to boot this drive for some reason or another.
Starz, does this work for you? (Adding doscsi)
Sure does. That does it. If nothing else hopefully this will just be documentation if anyone else has the same issue :). thanks
We're planning on having sr_mod built-in for 2004.2, so USB booting should be feasable.
Actually, could you guys test the CD in /experimental/x86/livecd/x86 (-test6) and let me know how it goes?
