can't load root.bin floppy, missing floppy controller (idepci and bf2.4 flavors)
specifically this is on a IDE based PC
the rescue.bin (for flavors bf2.4 and idepci) results in the message
unknown IDE controller on PCI has 00 device f9, VID=8086, DID=244b
also mentioned is the fact that non floppy controller is seen.
When it prompts me to put in the root.bin floppy this results
in
request_module[block-major-2]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot not open root device 02:00
Should I be using a different flavor or is the bios doing something
weird. NOte that the system has windows2000 Pro installed on it.
Specs:
Floppy FD-M1448W
HD/IDE HD-WD-WD400BB
MB NC-AS-P4T-E-W0A, some kind asus board? Not sure any of these codes are
meaningful. Perhaps they're just par tof the store internal code.
