BIOS 6.00 R 1.11.2587.A1 has problems also with these Fujitsu-Siemens
W360: besides the Fedora Core 8 DVD media pass the cdcheck test, it
goes wrong during installation; it complains about not be able to read
or install some packed, and there is nothing wrong with the DVD or the
packet by sure. This W360 2587.A1 model has issues with the BIOS
versions one chooses and Linux setup. Even the R 1.03 does not work on
some.
I must recommend BIOS 6.00 R 1.08.2587.A1
it also pass the cdcheck test of DVD media, and install everything up
to the end without any error, except the very last bit:
No kernel packages were installed on your system
Your boot loader configuration will not be changed
and the next time you boot the system, it will complain there is no
system.
This is a FC8 problem, and the solution is bellow:
boot again with the Fedora Core 8 DVD and enter the option "rescue
installed system"
you do not need to setup network for this, and please use the
[continue] option next
chroot /mnt/sysimage
cd boot
ln -s vmlinuz[tab] vmlinuz
ln -s initrd[tab] initrd.img
cd grub
vi grub.conf (creates file)
default=0
timeout=5
title=FC8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1
initrd /boot/initr.img
[esc x] (save file)
grub-install hd0
[ctrl-alt-del] and remove DVD
the line with "kernel" must be adapted to your case;
in this case I used just two partitions, the first / and the second
swap;
the line grub-install is always "hd0"
for quiet boot without the nice [OK] use the line
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 rhgb quiet
.
