Dmesg that shows the error that occured
I have what looks like the same problem while trying to install FC6 release on a virgin X86 machine (So the 32 bit version, not the 64 like Markus). Discussion of my problem can be found at the found at the forum; http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=659942 Similar problems here with SATAII150 TX2plus controller. Was able to install in text mode on a PATA drive on a different controller with the "noprobe" option, but no SATA drives are seen either at install time or on subsequent boot. The re-boot hung for a long time after the sata_promise errors but finally completed. Ran updates and rebooted with similar delay after modprobe, but seens to be permanently hung at "Bringing up interface eth0:". Work-around was to boot CentOS4 from another disk (could have used rescue disk) and edit /etc/modprobe.conf adding a line install sata_promise /bin/true to disable the module. This does not help those who need to use the controller, nor get me access to the 250G SATA disk on the TX2plus, but does get FC6 to boot. BTW - this is a 32-bit install on an Athlon processor. Also, during install the text screen fonts changed to something that looked like Cyrillic around the time the problem was encountered. Have seen references to such font problems in other references to similar sata_promise driver issues. Bug is still present in kernel release 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6. this is the same as bug 199142 |
