RH 7.3 on Compaq PL2500 installation

[James Nunnerley]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to install RedHat 7.3 on a Compaq Proliant 2500.

 

I've followed all the instructions on www.cpqlinux.com
<http://www.cpqlinux.com/>  and what is with the Compaq Support pages, and
everything seems fine..

 

I've booted from the RH cd, and install using:

            Linux mem=256M

 

(If I just used linux it would say there's not enough memory)

 

It ticks away and gets to the following lines and stops

IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP

IP: routing cache has table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes

TCP: Hash tables configured (established 1024 bind 1024)

NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux Net4.0

EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock

Cramfs: wrong magic

FAT: unable to read boot sector

Isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=09:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:00

 

Am I correct by saying it's something to do with the disk drives?

 

If so, how do I get around it?

 

Cheers

James
