Cliff, I too tried using a D: drive once will trying to install a Red Hat version. Not much luck there. It never recognized the CDROM where the rest of the RPM load was. A Solution was to keep Linux on its on drive, yet still maintain a Win O/S platform computer. The Solution was to use Cold swappable drives in the C: slot. When I boot to STORMIX it has its own drive and no other O/S on the machine. When I logout of linux and shutdown the PC, I pull the HD out plug the Win95 Drive in and boot as normal-- sure keeps thing separate.

Glad you're back! ;-) Here's a copy of an e-mail I sent a storm compatriot earlier today when the list was 'down'. If anyone else has an idea what I can do to get hail on my old machine, do tell! _________ Okay, here I go. I've been running 'rain' for a couple of months just fine! I wanted to install 'hail' (downloaded and burned the image on cd) but very early it checks for devices on my system then says "No PCI devices found" and prompts me to click either 'help' or 'next'. This is a similar step that takes place on 'rain'. I click next (because it's correct -- there are no other devices on my machine) and it hangs. I tried again and clicked 'help' but it still hangs there. This didn't happen when installing 'rain'. What do I do? I've tried both the graphical and text installs. By the way, I'm running it on a 486-DX4-S (blazing speed!) with a Trident GUI9440 vid card. CD-ROM works fine. 10 G harddrive. Like I said, 'rain' is working fine on this system (as is redhat6.2) so I'm not sure what the 'hangup' is. I love storm and want hail! :) Thanks again, gang!

In order to test you have to go to a console after starting install when you get that choose isntall media (press CTRL ALT F1-4 till you find a free console,I think 2 is free). Now type dmesg | more you should see somewhere after the ide contorller is detected a list of all your drives,including the CDROM. Now if this works and you see the CDROM I will assume your cdrom is hdc Check if you can mount the CDROM manually cd / mkdir cdrom mount -r -t auto /dev/hdc /cdrom cd /cdrom ls you should see a list of files. try cd 'ing through directories and do ls 's to see if the CD is beeing read. if that works I would say 90% that is a problem with the storm installer not detecting your cdrom. Now one probelm with the old Pentium is that you're using an old propietary CDROM with it's interface and I haven't seen anywhere in the Storm installer the option to insert the module for it as Debian installer have.I don't have experiwence with these old CDROM's so even if you can manually insert the module with insmod I don't know what device it will be or if you can restart the instalation process.Somebody may know. Now with the Compaq.Compaq is using lately some really cheapo CDROM's, noname.They used to have LG's before and even those aren't such high quallity. Also if you have the second partition labeled system_save and you don't have one or 2 BLUE restore CD's DON'T delete anything from there or you won't be able to restore the unit unless you call Compaq.Even then almost all of the last year and this years Compaq's had a problem with the modem driver not beeing on the restore CD.You should save the cpqdrv directory from D and burn it to a CD.I made a CD for the modem problem even before Compaq aknowledged the problem (and they didn't too soon). Is there by any chance the one with SIS chipset(shared RAM for video)? That chipset is also known to cause problems. Well anyway start with the Compaq follow my sugestions and we should be able to identify the problem.THen when you call Storm tech support you'll be more prepared.The problem is that Stormix is using binaries for install not simple shell scripts and I don't have the time now to go through the sources and see exactly what are they doing and fork a few things.At least that's what I saw on the CD-binary for sinstall. If you want to try the ftp install from another computer I'll post on my webpage by the end of this weekwaht yuo ahve to do to use the CD as a source for ftp install.You'll still ahve to download a 36MB file from the Stormix ftp and install an ftp server on one computer but this shouldn't be such a huge problem if you have a NIC in each computer (even a$20Canadains elcheapo NIC will do).

You can copy data to a Dos/Windows partiton, set up a network connection with a PCMCIA card, set up a newwork with PLIP with a laplink cable and the parallel port, and even use an external CD drive with either a PCMCIA or parallel port support.
