Installing RedHat 8.0 onto Dell PowerEdge SC1425 - hdc: status error: status = 0x58
I have successfully installed RedHat 8.0 onto a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 today. This server has two SATA hard drives, and an IDE DVD-ROM drive.
Using the following kernel parameters, i successfully installed across both hard drives from CD:
However, since installation, the system no longer boots. I've tried appending the above parameters to the kernel line in grub, but is still doesn't boot.
It starts to boot, and everything looks fine, until it tries to remount the root fs in read/write mode, at which point it appears to hang.
There are several messages on screen, all of which are normal, except two instances of the following:
NOTE: For some reason, the two hard drives were picked up as hdc and hde, but it seemed to install OK.
If i boot up into rescue mode on the installation CD, i can mount the drives fine, and chroot into my newly built system, but it just won't boot up by itself.
i've tried without, and it doesn't recognise the CD-ROM drive, so i can't actually install redhat! lol
with certain parameters i can get it to recognise *only* the CD-ROM drive, which means i have no hard drives to install onto, and with the parameters above, it recognises both, but it just won't boot properly after install.
As i think i said, it hangs during it's attempt to remount the root fs as read/write...
Ok then,
plz define the /dev/hdc -> is it your CDROM?
and how about these 2 :ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6? both drives in 1 ide?
how about the SATA controller - correctly set?
My server has /var/log/messages with 'init: initLogger main process (608798) terminated with status 1' errors. I researched about the error and also followed the steps from stackexchange :

I was asked to get a Dell PowerEdge 2600 server, out of warranty, running SCO 3.2v5.06 to perform a full backup. I spent hours researching and preparing a strategy only to fail on-site.

Does anybody no how to get around the fact that the Red Hat installation does not see the SCSI hard drives. It lets you manually pick the proper device, but still fails saying no drive detected (or something to that effect). I was going to install windows 2003 Server and use VMware...but again,...
