Debian 2.0 (Cheapbyets CD) EZSTART does not recognize CD-ROM IRQ
I have a pretty standard 486 (circa 1995), and I am running
DOS622, with my CD-ROM working fine under DOS, having installed
the driver that came with the CD-ROM. But my CD Rom is not
recognized by Debian EZSTART. EZSTART hangs after I tell it the
color and it says something about examining my system. I then
switch to Left-Alt F2 and here is what my dmesg says:
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0)
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0)
hdd: Toshiba CD ROM XM-6102D ATAPI CDROM DRIVE
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0)
ide0 at 0x160-0x1fg, 0x36 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq 15
If I then try to mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom my
system hangs in the Left-Alt F2 virtual terminal, and I have to
reboot.
I would like to be able to find out what IRQ and i/o address my
Toshiba CD-ROM is working under. MSD will not provide this
information (at least I don't recognize it). Can I do it from
the Left-Alt F2 virtual console in EZSTART?
If I can find out what the irq and i/o address should be (using
some GNU utility that is available on the Left-Alt F2 virtual
console), how would I then get the system to accept these values
for the CD-ROM?
Any ideas will be welcomed.
Thanks.
