(I tried posting this on the Linux/Unix forum, but got some "Invalid forum" message.)
I have a computer that normally boots in Win98 that I wish to use with SlimCD when serving music (mainly because Win98 chokes when piping flac-wav-mp3 to my SB1). I have three drives: the Win98 boot drive, the music drive (200GB in two partitions) and a (Suse) Linux-formatted drive. The first is on a normal IDE connector, and the others are on ATA-100 connectors. Win98 sees the first two just fine; I think the last is hidden because Windows doesn't recognize the Linux file system on it. I can't use the other IDE connector for the music drive because it's too big for Win98. The problem is that DSL can't access either of the drives on the ATA-100 connectors. The MB manufacturer (Gigabyte) offers "beta" Linux drivers, but has no clue how to install them (when downloaded, the file is a Windows executable, for some strange reason). When I Google for "Promise ATA/100 Linux Drivers", I get the impression that the 2.4 kernel should handle ATA/100 natively, and the DSL wiki says that it uses 2.4. Any suggestions? -- dbls ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dbls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=296 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25086 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
