Re: Can Etch be installed on an SS20?
Hi, guys.
Just trying to install Etch on an SS20. The CD boots, and I select my
keyboard etc, but when it comes to detect the CD properly, it can't be
found. Can anyone remember the solution to this? lsmod indicates
that the esp module and cdrom modules are loaded. I think in the past
the problem has been esp, but I'm sure I got further than this.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Chris.
