Debian Boot Problem
I have a problem booting the Debian Kernel 2.0.25 as it hangs with this on the screent: GSCD: Version 0.4a Oliver Raupach ... GSCD: Trying to detect a Goldstar R420 .. GSCD: GoldStar Interfac Adapter does not exist or H/W error $id: cm206.c,v 0.99.1.1 1996/08/11 10:35:01 david Exp $ The cursor is left following the last $. This problem occurs with the boot disks and the the system I built. The boot disk will comeup on another system but not this one. I had built a system with 2.0.23 and it was okay. Does someone have some suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Debian Boot Problem
For now, please boot your system with the command: linux reserve=0x340 or linux cm206=0x350 Where 0x350 is any unused address on your system. I'll have to remove this from the next kernel. I wanted to see if more than one person hit this problem, or if it was simply someone with odd hardware. I'm really bummed by having to exclude from the generic kernel drivers that don't auto-probe well enough to reject the wrong device (the cm206), and drivers that hang forever if the device isn't there (some NCR SCSI controller), and drivers that take forever to auto-probe (the SoundBlaster CD driver). I'd prefer not to start a new career nudging people on the linux-kernel list to fix this stuff, but I guess I have little choice.

Same for me, the new 1.2 boot floppy (1996-12-8) will crash on my computer at this point but not on some other computers. It bothers me that some computers can't boot with this floppy disk. Bruce what is more important? To provide support for people who will install debian 1.2 with a cm206 cdrom player or to provide a boot floppy that will have less chances of crashing? Is the base of installed cm206 important enough to justify that others (like me) can't install Debian 1.2 at all? :) Maybe the default base IO probing of the cm206 (#define CM206_BASE 0x340) is too agressive? Could it be changed in the built kernel? Will alternate 1.2 boot floppies be provided?
