From: raf50@JUTS.amail.amdahl.com (Richard A Frankel) Subject: help installing linux on ibm thinkpad... Date: 4 Sep 1993 10:55:17 GMT
I just got an IBM thinkpad 350c (specifically to run linux) and am
trying to install the SLS release.
However, when I try to run fdisk from linux boot, it does not
recognize the hard disk.
I tried downloading and booting the GCC boot disk, which says:
WD8013 controler not found at i/o 20X
Any help? ideas?. Does this mean the HD controller in the thinkpad is
incompatible with linux? If so, does anyone have suggestions on a 486
laptop to run linux?
Config:
IBM thinkpad 350c
120 MB IDE 2.5" HD
IBM DOS 5.02
thanx in advance,
