[Trinux-talk] Problems with a bootable Trinux CD

[<pm...@de...>]

Hello all

I have created a Trinux boot CD that works really well but I'm having
difficulties creating a cd that will load additional kernel modules when it
boots.

I am trying to load the following kernel modules
to create a bootable Linux cd that supports the PCMCIA Xircom network card
on my laptop.

pcmcia-bin.tgz
pcmcia-coremods.tgz
pcmcia-xirc2ps.tgz

To try and get this working I have been copying these files into the
/TRINUX/ directory on my CD image and adding the package filenames to
/TRINUX/tux/config/kpkglist on the CD image.

But this does not work.  The modules just do not load at boot time.

Once Trinux has booted I can then mount the CD-ROM, copy these three
packages to the root directory, untar them, and exec pcmcia to initialise
the network card.

This brings up the network card fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I feel like there is
something small that I am missing as I'm still getting my head around
Trinux.

Great tools kit though.

Phill

I checked partition type, it is "e" = Win95 FAT16 (LBA).
Should I set it to "6" = DOS 16-bit >=32M ?
