RE: [Trinux-talk] new ISO image

[hans n. <ha...@no...>]

yes, i had problems with the new ISO, too but not with the dhcpd.
with my laptop (HP Omnibook 4150 and a 3Com NIC) the ISO-trinux hangs on 
early start (after decompressing the kernel - i think during hardware 
detect). the pcmcia floppy works fine.

I had the same experience , once, but not repeatable 

(dell c600 w/ Intel NIC)
now it just doesn't find the NIC
started into the 'mount cdrom' but got dstracted by another fire

Thanks for the feedback.
I know it may be difficult but if there is anyway y'all can post the
output of dmesg to see what the kernel is seeing.

If you can access a floppy

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy   (stick in a DOS floppy)

cd /floppy

dmesg > dmesg

cat /proc/devices > devices
cat /proc/pci > pci
cat /proc/ioports > ioports

cd /
sync
umount /dev/fd0

In the future I'll add a debug script to do all this automatically.


It looks like I need to add more smarts to the linuxrc to look for laptop
specific stuff.

It is a PCMCIA CD-ROM or an IDE? Does the trinux-ide floppy work, because
that is the same kernel as on the CD-ROM?

Thanks. I've added it to the bug list
