Hi. I downloaded some of the official sarge/testing CDs last week, and had a bit of trouble with the installer recognising my CD-ROM drive.
I have a Toshiba Portege 3480 and its (TEAC) floppy is USB and its (TARGA) CD-ROM is PCMCIA. I created the set of 4 floppies for install (boot, root, CD drivers, net drivers) and started it up. However, the CD-ROM could not be recognised. In the set of modules on the two drivers disks, the required ide/legacy/ide-cs.o file was missing. I had to load CD-ROM #1 on another Debian install, find kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386 and "dpkg --unpack" it. Copy this onto a disk, then boot off the floppies again. Dropping into a shell, I copied the file into /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/kernel/drivers and all was good. Can this file be included in the default set of boot floppies? -- Andrew Scott http://www.aes.id.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
