I have problems in installing Redhat Linux 9 on my HP Proliant DL360 G3 Server.
Here's the error message:
CD Not Found - The Red Hat Linux CD was not found in any ouf your CDROM drives.
On the console there is he following message: <4>Unable to identify CD-ROM format
I dont't know why this happens because:
- I'm booting fromReadHat Linux 9 CD 1
- RedHat Linux 9 shoud have support for the Smart Array 5i Controller, shouldn't it?
- If I use my CDs on an other systems everything is fine....
Can anyone help me???
Thanks in advance!
Greetings
Markus

Re: RedHat Linux 9 Installation problems
Probably in the installation image of
RH 9 no driver for your controler that
you CD-Rom connected so the installation
couldn't find the CD-Rom.
It may be the ide/scsi controler.
You can install from the network (nfs image).

Re: RedHat Linux 9 Installation problems
Two things to look at are:
1. Is there a HP Linux drivers floppy available for this, if not you can make the Redhat Supplementary floppies from the first CD.
2. Do you have the latest BIOS for your card? Some controllers require a BIOS upgrade before they can be seen by Linux?
Good luck,
Andrew

Re: RedHat Linux 9 Installation problems
thank you verry much for your replies... But I'm having still the same problem... I've tried all the things but nothing worked for me... It seams that the installation process can't mount my cd-rom drive (message: trying to mount device hda)... Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Markus

SolutionYou can't install from CD. Doesn't matter if you have a CD or DVD drive. You always get the "format" error. OTOH, I stuck a SuSE 8.2 disk in and it started installing beautifully. Sigh...if only I didn't have the RH 9.0 requirement.
You can't install by NFS mount either. It won't mount. I set up 2 different machines, dropped the RedHat dirs onto it per instructions, tested the NFS exports to various machines successfully, but the install program would never mount the NFS dir. The error message was generic and useless. I'm starting to dislike RH.
Try 3 was a hard drive install, but I have an empty HD. However, since Suse 8.2 would install, I did a minimal Suse install with a 1G root partition (to be reclaimed later as swap or with LVM), and created a 2.5G ext2 partition, then I dropped the 3 ISOs into it. I mounted that partition as /RH9, so the ISO's would be a the top. I put the ISOs there by sticking each of the CDs in the drive and doing "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/RH9/cd1.iso bs=512" (ignore the warning/error at the end), changing the filename with the disk number. The ISOs should be something like 667M, 677M, 508M (numbers from memory but that should be close). Once you've done all that, put the RH CD1 back in the drive, boot the machine, pick "hard drive install", you'll get the Welcome Message, an off you go.
If you don't have a SuSE 8.2 disk laying around, you should be able to use any older RH version, as I understand they install too (though I haven't done it). Be sure to make the ISO partition ext2, that's vital.
HTH and Good Luck!

Re: RedHat Linux 9 Installation problems
The ML350, comes with only 1 cd device and reproduced the same problem. So i got a spare cd device that i mounted on ML350 and again got the system installed in the same way.
