Subject: [finnix] Help with "Waiting for devices to settle...Still cannot
 find Linux media you're on your own" message
Message-ID: <88AF09D10F775242825F9829423376AB07D67B473D@VMBX103.ihostexchange.net>

The Finnix boot CD (one we've customized a bit) starts booting, then gives the "Waiting for devices to settle" message.  It tries 5 times before giving a message saying " Still cannot find Linux media you're on your own "  Then it says

"Giving you a shell, hopefully you can mount the media to /ramdisk/cdrom.  If you can, exit the shell and startup will proceed as normal.  Starting intermediate shell as requested by "debu" option.  Type "exit" to continue with normal bootup.  /bin/ash:  "Can't access tty; job control turned off"

The PCs in question are either HP DC7700s or DC7800.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can re-mount the CD-ROM drive and continue on with the boot process?  I have limited knowledge of Linux so appreciate any help that anyone can provide.

Thanks in advance
