ohci1394 driver

[tjones9034]

Hi all,

I am trying to install Linux RedHat 9.0, but the installation freezes on me at "Loading ohci1394 driver"......and stays there for ever.

This installation was on my HP Pavillion laptop with Intel P4, WIN XP PRO. What suprises me most was that I installed the same software on my desktop with the same Intel P4, Win XP PRO, and it was sucessfull. Please has anybody come accross this problem?

When you boot he CD and get to the first installation screen, NOTE: Depending on your needs:

Type Linux nousb......then enter if no need for usb.

Type Linux noprobe......then enter if no need for RedHat to probe your hardware.

Type Linux nofirewire......then enter if no need for additional features that some notebook has for fast data transfer.

Type Linux nopcmcia......then enter if no need for cards needed like wireless or modem cards.

For example: If you dont need the usb, probing and cards.....then you type: linux nousb noprobe nopcmcia

The installation should go smoothly. Also to boot after installation, you will need to type the same thing again to boot. If you still having problem, you can reach me at tjones9034@msn.com Good luck.
