I am trying to install the drivers for my SCSI
cd roms but i am unable to locate the linux source code. There is no directory
called /usr/src/linux on my hard disk. I am booting from a floppy and the root
directory is on a Jaz disk (2GB), during boot the SCSI card and all of my SCSI
devices are detected but the only drivers that are loaded are for my IBM hard
disk (also SCSI) and my Jaz drive. I get an I/O error when I try to write to the
CDRom (as a test). The documentation i have states that the problem is with the
device files but i believe it is due to the SCSI CDRom's not being enabled using
the "make config" command. I am not even able to run "make
config" since the source code isn't where it should be!!! i am very new to
linux/unix commands so please give me "blow by blow" details on how to
correct this if possible. Could the source code be on my boot floppy? If so, I'm
not even sure how to switch directories to point any ny other
drive.
Any help would be overwhelmingly appreciated.
