Ladies and Gentlemen, I am (gradually) attempting to upgrade my trusty Bering-uClibc_3.x Floppy Firewall to a Bering-uClibc_4.0-rc1 CD & Floppy.
I burnt a Bering-uClibc_4.0-rc1_i486_isolinux_vga.iso CD, added a CD drive to the old Pentium MMX box, configured the BIOS to enable the IDE controller and be able to boot from CD and booted. It all came up but the Floppy Disk Controller wasn't detected and consequently I could progress much further. :-( The old Bering-uClibc_3 floppy (same hardware, same BIOS configuration) says: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 What am I doing wrong? Greetings, Mark Plowman To assist advice here are the full two 'dmesg's: >From booting the old Bering-uClibc_3.x floppy: Linux version 2.4.34 (root@enterprise) (gcc version 3.3.3) #1 Tue Jan 23 20:12:21 CET 2007 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 0000000008000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fffe0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 128MB LOWMEM available.
