Hello,
first my configuration
K6-200, BT-930, ASUS TX97-XE, Matrox-Millenium, IBM SCSI-DCAS 34330,
Plextor SCSI-CDROM, IOMEGA-ZIP SCSI intern, 64MB SDRAM
all new assembled.
I tried to start with the Debian CD (German manufacturer J.F. Lehmanns)
I seted up the Buslogic BIOS to boot from CD: it works perfectly
and my box booted from CD. I've got the installation menue.
But when I try to partition a harddisk it failed ans didn't found
any harddisk. ALso trying to mount any /dev/sd? at tty2 failed with:
Kernel could not recognize ... as a blockdevice
(try insmod driver)
... or things like that.
I have to say that the harddisk works with the factory installed DOS
without any floppy or CD in the drives perfectly without any problem.
That means the drive seems to be all right.
While booting I've got:
Warning : Unknown PCI device (8096:71xx). Please read include/linux/pci.h
(xx aus 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, sowie zus"atzlich (102b:51b))
but this happens on some boxes as I heard and seems not to be connected
with my problem.
Well I tried the 2.0.30 special installation diskettes which should
work with Buslogic Flashpoint controllers but should crash often.
Yes I veryfied that they crash ... :-(((
The last words were:
Started kswapd v 1.4.2.2
FDC 0 is a post-1991
md driver 0.35 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
It seems that after this the SCSI controller is to be initialized.
Using the standard diskettes the next lines are:
Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card!
PPA: unable to initialise controller at 0x378, error 2
scsi : 0 hosts
scsi : detected total.
but I think the error message is connected with failing to initialize
the parallel port zipdrive which I havn't because using an internal
SCSI Zipdrive. Or is this the point???
But the CD is read very well!?!?!?
Any hints????
Greetings
Andreas.
