Any other ideas? You need a special kernel with a driver for this cd-rom. You could compile your own kernel and put this one on the bootdisks (and the corresponding modules on the driver disks)
You will need a patch for the 2.0.36 kernel or an official 2.2 kernel. Look at http://www.torque.net/parport/ for the former. You might need to create a new device manually after booting with the new floppy. > Thanks, > Andreas > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null Nils -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* | Quotes from the net: L> Linus Torvalds, W> Winfried Truemper | | L>this is the special easter release of linux, more mundanely called 1.3.84 | | W>Umh, oh.
