From: rohrer@fncrd6.fnal.gov (Keith Rohrer) Subject: Floppy autodetect debugging? Date: 11 Jun 1993 14:00:10 GMT
A friend and I just got new "intelligent" (read "pompous") IDE/floppy cards;
they (of course) work great under DOS, and under Linux, EXCEPT that floppy
autodetect is hosed, with bunches of (b?)read failures. This both under
0.99.9+ipc+sound+modules and 0.99.10. This is a major problem for my
friend, who can't install SLS 1.02 because it gives read errors when
it frees itself of the boot sector and tries to use the kernel's
autodetect routines.
Can anyone give me explicit instructions on what to do to the kernel to
at least figure out what's going on in its little head, and hopefully
fix it?
TeternallyIA,
Keith
