mknod does not work for me. Anaconda keeps on not seeing the disc.
I'll try boot.iso tomorrow.
I've tried several ways to overcome the "no IDE drives found" problem AKA
bug #118941, to no success:
1. boot the fedora x86_64 DVD
2. mknod /dev/hda
3. boot with FC1 DVD and change to FC2T2
4. boot with vmlinuz + initrd from the FC2T2 DVD copied into /boot as
explained in:
www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg00445.html
The previous four methods have already been discussed but didn't work for
me.
4. boot with boot-iso from devel
5. boot with vmlinuz + initrd from the devel tree (same trick than before)
In both cases the hard disk and the cdrom are detected by the kernel, but
anaconda asks for a driver or driver disk.
If I choose Hard Disk, in vt3 it says:
devices[0] is TOSHIBA MK60221GAS - hda using ignore (not loaded)
If I choose Local CDROM, in vt3 it says:
devices[0] is PIONEER DVD-RW-DVR-K12RA - hdc using ignore (not loaded)
