Well I tried it again tonight with /dev/hdi connected to PDC20262. This
configuration works OK in 7.2 but not in current cooker. The machine
freezes when detecting PDC20262.
I tried adding these lines to lilo.conf and running lilo (to no avail):
disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hdf bios=0x81
disk=/dev/hdg bios=0x82
disk=/dev/hdh bios=0x83
disk=/dev/hdi bios=0x84
disk=/dev/sda bios=0x85
append="ide2=0xb400,0xb802 ide3=0xbc00,0xc002 ide4=0xc800,0xcc02
ide5=0xd000,0xd402"
Without any disks on PDC20262 everything works and PDC20262 is recognised.
I tried an upgrade from hd.img-2.2.17-BOOT8 - this failed after setting
installation type to expert upgrade, with message:
* warning: unknown device hdi at /usr/bin/perl-install/devices.pm line 62.
* warning: unknown device hdi (caller is
fsedit:/usr/bin/perl-install/fsedit.pm:66) at
/usr/bin/perl-install/devices.pm line 137.
Attachments (for Pixel only):
