Component: Installation
Summary: PCMCIA (External) CD installation hangs
Product: Installation
Version: 1.826
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
System: Sony Vaio, PCG SR17K
External PCMCIA drive: PCGA CD51
System: Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2 (note, I don't know which version this is)
Basically I can get the installation started, but it hangs after a message
that says: ENABLING PCMCIA EXTENSION CARDS
Basic steps that I have followed:
1.) To get system to boot from PC press ESC.
2.) Comes up with 3 options. Choose CD.
3.) Starts booting from CD. Screen comes up asks if you want to do
Install/upgrade or Other. Choose Install
4.) Message comes saying: ENABLING PCMCIA EXTENSION CARDS
5.) Message goes away.
6.) System basically freezes in this state.
Note:
This did not happen for Mandrake 9.0 (The current system on the machine).
Basically the same thing happened for 9.1.
Also note that in Mandrake club forums there are other documented cases of the
same thing. With the same comments about the install worked for MD 9.0, but did
not work for 9.1
(Were able to install 9.0, but not 9.1) For a variety of Sony Laptops that use
the external CD-ROMS.
