Im trying to get this card to work
(its supported in RH7.3, so 5.6 will solve everything -
aint it often the way! but ive no idea on that timeframe
or the 'stability' of the beta)
anyway, ive got the required driver dd'd onto a floppy
and ive been told 'at the boot: prompt enter dd'
BUT it goes by too quick, i cant pause it!
im loading off a CD on a Celeron 700
how do i get past this?
(hey if im on the wrong track, pls point me right)
regards in advance
Rob
ps great phorum - ive learnt a lot from it
-
im progressing but still not quite there!
i cannot interupt the CD boot, so
(thanks to a fellow aussie's advice)
made a boot floppy from the CD boot.img,
edited the syslinux.cfg to show
default accept
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
LABEL accept
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND ks=cdrom:images/kickstart/ks_stub.cfg initrd=initrd.img local
Then I boot, and at the boot prompt type "accept dd".
It now reads the driver diskette (dtp_i2o which is correct),
but still doesnt find the scsi drive!
after the driver diskette, cd reads, driver finishes reading,
lang-select, kybd, accept and
WHAMMO - nodrive found
what else do I need to do?
hoping for help
