Hi,

My friend Storm Lee encountered some install related problem in moving
to fedora core 4. Would anyone please help him out? Here is some of
the log in different consoles, I just forward his letter here. Thanks!


=============

during hardware testing, report ide error 
"cache flushes not supported"
dma error .no response  
wait a moment, fedora installer start 
when choose the install source , I put the iso on d:\fc4 ,so I chose hda5.

the out of character interface is :

mntloop loop7 on /tmp/loopimage as /tmp/hdimage/fc4/FC4-i386-disc1.iso fd is 1
2
mntloop loop0 on /tmp/runtime as /tmp/loopimage//Fedora/base/hdstg2.img fd is 
12
failed  to mount loop0:invalid argument
umount loopback /tmp/runtime loop0

Here, i think, hdstg2.img can't be found .but disc1.iso is already mounted 
why hdstg2.img ?

in the other character interface ,out is

unable to load NLS charset utf8
iso9660 Extentions :RRIP_1991A
unable to identify CD-ROM format
VFS:Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0
cramfs: wrong magic
fat:invalid media value(0x19)
VFS:Can't find a valid fat filesystem on dev loop0


that's all.I hope you can find where the problem is .:)
i use the grub for dos , tomorrow i can try to boot my machine from the boot.i
so

-- 
bbbush ^_^
