Re: IIci and A/UX

[Kyle DePasquale]

Okay, I tried it in a different IIci to see if it was the SCSI 
controller - same issues as before.  So I try a slower speed drive, non 
apple of course, patch the boot floppy's CD driver with cd-sunrise, and 
it works wonderfully...to a point.  It says that it cannot upgrade the 
system software on "/"  and to erase the system software on the drive 
and try again.  I did that, and I am still getting the errors.  So i 
tried to do the "customize" instead of the easy install.  It pauses 
after saying the drive will be overwritten with the new system 
software, and now I am getting CD read errors again.  I even burned a 
new A/UX cd at 4x instead of the regular 12x, but now it seems that it 
is so slow that it will not even boot up fully into the installer.  
Maybe that will help shed some light on what *could* be going on...it 
seems that there should be a solution, because I was able to install 
A/UX before with these machines.

Thanks again,
Kyle

I have been trying for the past few days to install A/UX 3.01 on one 
of
my Mac IIci machines.  It works great except it keeps getting read
errors on what seems to be the CD drive (an apple 600i).  I think 
this,
because I have tried using different hard drives, and keep getting the
same errors, which are Panic:  No Root Filesystem and Disk read
c101d0s6 Error:  Medium Error, code = 0x11.  I have tried re-burning
the A/UX image, but to no avail.  I even opened up the CD-ROM drive 
and
cleaned the laser, but again, it did not work.  Any thoughts?  Is it a
problem with the CD drive or could it be the SCSI controller?
I vaguely recall something about earlier Apple CD-ROM units being 
preferred
for A/UX. I'll check my A/UX installation and notes tonight to see if 
I can
shed any more light on your troubles.
