Hi,
I have three questions.
One, is a problem looks like the mail,
"tomsrtbt hangs saying LIL" @ Tue, 5 Feb 2002 21:22:58
I am using following stuffs:
PC: sony vaio PCG-C1VRX/K(no CDROM_DRV+FDD_DRV)
FDD: PCGA-UFD5(USB)
When I tried to boot this with tomsrtbt-1.7.361, booting was stopped
saying
LIL
so, I've configured tomsrtbt into 1.44MB version.
then the stopping message become
LIL
Error 0x00
a progress. and what LILO's README says about 0x00 is,
---------------------------------------------------------------
0x00 "Internal error". This code is generated by the sector read
routine of the LILO boot loader whenever an internal inconsistency is
detected. This might be caused by corrupt files. Try re-building the
map file. Another possible cause for this error are attempts to access
cylinders beyond 1024 while using the LINEAR option. See section "BIOS
restrictions" for more details and for how to solve the problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------
and "BIOS restrictions" says things more deeper, but since this floppy
works with other computer, not using USB-FDD, I thought the cause is in
somewhere else. here is what I've tried, and its result with my FDD-DRV
tomsrtbt-1.7.161: hanged at "LIL"
tomsrtbt 1.44MB: hanged at "LILO \n Error 0x00"
mosquito322: stopped saying "Boot failed"
muLinux10r5 : hanged at "LILO \n Error 0x00"
MS-DOS worked
VineLinux boot FDD: worked
could you give me advice, or some direction where I have to work with?
Two, is about toms-libc5-kit. it was not in add-ons archive. so, I've
tried
http://www.tux.org/pub/distributions/tinylinux/tomsrtbt/add-ons/toms-libc5-kit-0.3.tar.bz2
but it answered me "no such page." If you are still distributing this
file, could you give me some address where I can get this?
Three, how can I add NIC to tomsrtbt? I'm using "corega EtherII PCC-T"
a PCMCIA NIC card using 8390.o for lap-top PC, and "corega FEther
PCI-TXS" for desk-top PC. both of them doesn't work without add-ons.
for laptop's one, I've tried following
1. put "8390.o" into 2/lib/modules/net/ (from add-ons)
2. edit 2/etc/pcmcia/config as
add:
device "pcnet_cs"
class "network" module "net/8390", "pcnet_cs"
card "Corega PCC-T Ethernet"
version "corega K.K.", "corega EtherII PCC-T"
bind "pcnet_cs"
comment out:
device "pcnet_cs"
class "network" module "pcnet_cs"
After this, "pip pip" sound came up from PCMCIA slot, and eth0 was detected.
But, dhcpcd-- gave me error saying
Starting dhcpcd--
Looking for DHCPOFFER....
EORROR
timeout
if I boot this with windows 98, the LAN card works properly, and is able
to get IP info form dhcpd.
and about desk-top,I putted rtl8139.o to 2/lib/modules/net/, and.... had
no idea what else should I do.
Excuse me for this newbee question, but I am working 3 or 4 days for
this NIC problem, so, could you give me a simple procedure to add NIC?
thank you.
