?:Linux on Omnibook 4000: CDROM does not work
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.
