User Feedback :: Common Errors
Just wanted to make a common error page for the wiki with the following info:
FYI: These are the ones I have seen on my boot from a Gateway Solo 1150 where I ahve installed dsl 2.4 to the hd. The sr0 is not seen when booting from the cd (It has media ) but others have seen the errors too.
Boot:
Error: Block-Major-2
Reason: DSL could not find a floppy Drive
Solution: Safe to ignore/Add a floppy drive to your system
Error: sr0- CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST
Reason: No cd in cdrom 1 while trying to search for a file there.
Solution: Add norestore (or restore=xxx) to append line/Safe to ignore.
Error: APCI could not be enable
Reason: PC lacks APCI/BOIS Disabled
Solution: Safe to ignore if you lack/don't need APCI
Error: kmod- failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno=2
Reason: Unknown (Believe to be lack of actuall scsi controller)
Solution: Safe to ignore??
Error: Spurious 8259a interrupt- IRQ7

Solution: Safe to ignore?
Run:
Error: sr0- CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST
cdrom- open failed
Reason: No cd in cdrom 1 while trying to search for a file there.
Solution: Safe to ignore.
Note: sr0 can also be sr1/sr2/srx depending on number of cdroms in your system.
