(I tried posting this on the Linux/Unix forum, but got some Invalid
forum message.)
I have a computer that normally boots in Win98 that I wish to use with
SlimCD when serving music (mainly because Win98 chokes when piping
flac-wav-mp3 to my SB1). I have three drives: the Win98 boot drive,
the music drive (200GB in two partitions) and a (Suse) Linux-formatted
drive. The first is on a normal IDE connector, and the others are on
ATA-100 connectors. Win98 sees the first two just fine; I think the
last is hidden because Windows doesn't recognize the Linux file system
on it. I can't use the other IDE connector for the music drive because
it's too big for Win98.
The problem is that DSL can't access either of the drives on the
ATA-100 connectors. The MB manufacturer (Gigabyte) offers beta Linux
drivers, but has no clue how to install them (when downloaded, the file
is a Windows executable, for some strange reason).
When I Google for Promise ATA/100 Linux Drivers, I get the impression
that the 2.4 kernel should handle ATA/100 natively, and the DSL wiki
says that it uses 2.4.
Any suggestions?
