Using Linux booting
from 4.1...(this is from memory of doing this last night, hope my
details are correct) A couple of older computers we need to image, have an onboard ATA33 primary/secondary HDD controler. The HDD that came with the computers is ATA66 and came hooked to a ATA66 PCI HDD controler. So, when the Linux boot happens, the HDD is /sys/block/hde! No good. So, I figured out which editor was included and added hde to the list of sys-block-devices and it was mounted properly after re-runnning ./init . A new problem cropped up after that. It looks like dosemu.bin was trying to run, but exiting saying "autoexec.bat failed to set Z_PATH". Should I upgrade to the lastest build to fix this? Is this feasable to fix? As a work around, I connected the HDD to the primary controller to make it /sys/block/hda (but also ran at ATA33), waited for it to copy down the files, reboot and then I reconnected it to the ATA66 controller card. |
