From: cvc@world.std.com (Cliff V Collins) Subject: TIMEOUT ON CDROM INSTALL Date: 16 Apr 1993 07:16:47 GMT
My system is
486DX266 256K ISA
8 megs ram
adaptec 1542B
maxtor 7213S SCSI1 200 Meg hd
texel 2024 SCSI2 300kb/s cdrom
when I try to install the binary only dist of yydrasil beta cdrom the
process says SCSI Timeout host 1 operation aborted after copying 20-30 of the bin files. The demo option runs fine. I have been running the softlanding SLS 99p6 kernal for 6-7 weeks with no problem (however while I have used the cdrom
under it, I have never realy copied alot of files from cdrom to my drive. My partitions are 100megs dos and 100 megs linux efs.
This same type of problem happened months ago when I tried to install a 386bsd
system from cdrom. My dos system never seems to crap out on multimedia stuff (
mixed up mother goose and such).
All my adaptec jumpers are default. My maxtor is id 1 , cdrom is 3.
I have slowed the system down (turbo off) shut the caches off but no go.
help, anyone?
