[im not sure to post this on experienced or general - so i tried
experianced and waited and now try here: hope this is ok]
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, so trying to get 5.5 to work)
for SME5.5 the card required a driver, which I have on floppy
but i cannot interupt the CD boot, so I
made a boot floppy from the CD boot.img,
and 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 licence and
WHAMMO - nodrive found
what else do I need to do?
gee i hope someone can help!
kind regards Robert
