Re: problem installing Fedora 8

[Buz Davis <buzdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I switched hard disks so that my attempts to install were to a 137 gig
disk that had a small msdos partition and a 30 g linux partition.  This 
should have allowed plenty of space for an install, but I still got the
[1/1] abnormal termination of Anaconda.

I played around with some of the options and found that if I specified
'noprobe' I would get further into the process.  After selecting English
and a US keyboard Anaconda asked where the files to install were.
When I selected 'Local CD/DVD' it informed me that it couldn't find a 
driver for it.  (This seems odd, as it was RUNNING from the CD at the 
time).  It offered a list of drivers from which to select but there was 
no obvious choice, and every choice that I tried resulted in a dump.
The CD in question is a generic IDE 52x.

I do have an identical CD on another linux box.  Is there any utility by 
which I can find the driver that device is using ?  If so, can I prepare 
a floppy with this driver to give to Anaconda ?  Should this be in a 
standard ext3 filesystem or do I have to do something else to prepare a 
driver ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
