From: t-piersh@microsoft.com (Piers Haken) Subject: using shoelace with SCSI? Date: 01 Sep 1992 09:38:48 GMT
How can I get shoelace to work with SCSI? I have sucessfully installed
Linux (v0.97.2) on a machine with non-SCSI drives and got shoelace to
boot it nicely etc... etc... Then I tried the same thing with a SCSI
machine. I can get it to boot perfectly from floppy, mount the SCSI
drives as the root and run from there. I have THAT very same bootimage
as my /vmlinux file with the major/minor drive numbers set to 8/2 (sda2)
repectively. I ran laceup according to the the guide (as I had done to
the other machine) and it gave the expected results. Now, when I reboot
the machine it gives me the familiar looking table, but when I select
partition 2 to boot from it clears the screen, prints the Shoelace
version message and hangs.
It boots DOS from the first partition, fine.
This makes me think that it's having trouble finding the second partition
because it doesn't know the numberof heads etc... 'cos it's a SCSI disk.
Any help, pleeeeeeaaase!?
Piers.
