Install Red Hat 9 Issues
|

| OK,
I got frustrated with trying to get Mandrake 10 to install, so I decided to
download ISO's, burn ISO's, and install Red Hat instead. I am not having
much luck here either.
I have in the past been able to install previous versions of Mandrake and
Red Hat without any issues (first try).
What is happening is the following:
1) Red Hat asks what location the installation is going to take place....I
select Local CD-ROM. When I select this with CD1 in the drive (hence I
booted from the CD) it gives me an error message of, "The Red Hat Linux CD
not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Linux CD
and press OK to retry."
2) Goto eject the CD in drive D:\ and the door will not open.
3) I then tried to reboot the system and place the CD in drive E. Same
exact results
4) I then tried Red Hat's knowledgebase's suggestion of typing Linux
upgradeany at the command prompt. It suggested that if the installation
program could not find the CD to use upgradeany command argument. That
produced the same result.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Scott D. Barrish

It sounds like the installation system is confused about
your CDROM drives. Have you tried switching to a text
console (ALT-CTRL-F2) to look at dmesg output, /dev
(/tmp/dev?) links, and such?
One option might be hard disk install. You would need to
have a spare partition (with a usable filesystem type).
If you have an existing operating system, you could use it
to copy the ISO files to the spare partition. Otherwise,
you could try to use Knoppix to copy the ISOs.
Good luck.
