Description El Senator 2008-07-09 12:50:10 UTC
During boot, just after selecting keymap, the boot halts with the following:
!! Media not found
>> No bootable medium found. Waiting for new devices...
>> Looking for the cdrom
>> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/sda1 (That is a harddrive)
!! Media not found
!! Could not find CD to boot, something else needed!
>> Determining root device...
!! Could not find the root block device in .

And that's it. I am pretty sure it is related to a missing module for the IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82Q35. It works just fine with Knoppix 5.3.1(2.6.24.4 kernel) DVD.

I've attached the lspci's of two machines having the same problem. 1 is a Core 2 Duo setup and the other is a Core 2 Quad setup. They both have the same IDE interface.

The CD/DVD-Rom drive i use is IDE, but i guess that's guessable.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert 2008.0 MinimalCD
2. Boot machine, enter keymap after a while
3. Media not found error message

What driver handles that chipset?

Hmm... Actually, i think i'm mistaken, it probably is the "IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6101 single-port PATA133 interface (rev b2)" that's causing the problem.

I'm guessing it needs either "Marvell SATA support (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL)" or "Marvell PATA support via legacy mode".

Ehh, it looks like the PATA Marvell driver on the Minimal CD might have been built using =m instead of =y.  Try the LiveCD.  I *know* that it has =y on it.

Thanks, i will try that. Although it doesn't really solve my problem since i have specific need to use the minimal CD in this case. But thanks for the information, i appreciate it.

I'm having the same error, but I use a sata dvd-player. When I dissable AHCI, it boots fine. (I only can't access the internet using the 2008! The 2007 does it ok)

The 2008.0 release was done a long time ago.
