Hi,
I would like to install ARMLinux on my RiscPC.
I read Paul Vigay's guide, other guides and FAQs and I hope
I understood them well (my English is not good) but I had
few problems.
My hardware is:
RiscPC 700 + StrongARM 40Mb RAM 2 Mb VRAM
Acorn IDE controller + 1.6 Gb HD + CD-ROM 4x
Eesox 'fast' SCSI-2 interface + 4Gb HD
Acorn 586 card second processor.
I would like to install ARMLinux on 4GB SCSI HD.
First I used Eesox's !SDirector to create partitions but every
partition becames a RISCOS (od DOSFS) drive on the icon bar ...
Second I tried Partition Manager 1.11 to partition but it can only see
partitions made before and pressing MENU button on it, "New ..." field
is always disabled (I can't add a new partition).
Then I thought to load ARMLinux from root & supplemental disks and
use fdisk to partition HD but here I surprised.
I run !LinuxBoot to load kernel rpc-2.0.36-1999.05.29 then root disk
root-rpc-1999.05.29 and supplemental disk supplemental-1999.05.29.
Loading messages shows ...
<...>
Probing expansion cards
0: [0064:008C] 'Fast' SCSI-2 Interface card
<...>
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
<...>
In "Hardware configuration" I choose [ADD],
in "Hardware type" I select "SCSI adapters" and [NEXT],
in "SCSI drivers" I choose "EESOX SCSI" and [TRY],
in "Module options" I choose "Specify options" and [OK],
in "Module parameters" I set "Termination" field to "term=0"
and no value in "Miscellaneous options" and [OK]
Then machine hang and I have to reset.
OK, this is my story.
can anybody suggest me how solve this problem ?
Thanks,
