?:Linux on Omnibook 4000: CDROM does not work

[100.57912@germanynet.de (Ralf Durben)]

Configuration:



 Notebook:        HP Omnibook 4000C  486/50  8MB RAM  500MB DISK

 Linux-Partition: 250MB

 SCSI-Interface:  Port Replicator

 CDROM:           NEC Multispin SCSI 4x

 Linux:           Debian 1.3.1 on CDROM

 

Hi experts,



I am trying to install Linux on my notebook. Unfortunately Linux

does not recognize the CDROM. I have tried every CDROM-device

(e.g. /dev/scd0) but Linux does not recognize it as a block device.



I guess it is because of the port replicator. When Linux boots

it says that 0 scsi hosts were detected.



The CDROM works fine with Win95 or MS-DOS. For MS-DOS I have a

driver called Adaptec EZ-SCSI.



Has anybody installed Linux on an Omnibook? Or does anybody have

a solution what I can do?



I even cannot compile c-programms because cc is not installed.



I have installed the basic kernel via floppys. But it is too hard

to install all of Linux via floppys :-(



Please reply directly to me because I am not on this maillist.



Thank you very much in advance for any helpful response.
