I have a pretty standard 486 (circa 1995), and I am running DOS622, with my CD-ROM working fine under DOS, having installed the driver that came with the CD-ROM. But my CD Rom is not recognized by Debian EZSTART. EZSTART hangs after I tell it the color and it says something about examining my system. I then switch to Left-Alt F2 and here is what my dmesg says:
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0) hdd: IRQ probe failed (0) hdd: Toshiba CD ROM XM-6102D ATAPI CDROM DRIVE hdd: IRQ probe failed (0) ide0 at 0x160-0x1fg, 0x36 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq 15 If I then try to mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom my system hangs in the Left-Alt F2 virtual terminal, and I have to reboot. I would like to be able to find out what IRQ and i/o address my Toshiba CD-ROM is working under. MSD will not provide this information (at least I don't recognize it). Can I do it from the Left-Alt F2 virtual console in EZSTART? If I can find out what the irq and i/o address should be (using some GNU utility that is available on the Left-Alt F2 virtual console), how would I then get the system to accept these values for the CD-ROM? Any ideas will be welcomed. Thanks. joeh
