Hi,
I have a problem in installing the slackware 2.3.0
of Linux from the hard disk (drive C) on my PC (drive D).
It looks like my hard disk is not recognized by the boot
disk. Because when I do 'fdisk' it says 'Unable to open' <device>.
Here is what I have:
Fujitsu Team Server ICL
Pentium 90Mhz, 16M of RAM,
Hard Disk SCSI-2 Seagate ST3620N 520Mb (SCSI ID #0),
CD-ROM Matchita CR-503 (SCSI ID #5).
(SCSI Host Adapter: Adaptec AIC-7770 Family Adapter)
(with Adaptec AHA-2740 Bios v2.1 Release)
I`m using the scsi boot disk and the color144 root disk.
I folowed the installation instruction, I have two
partitions on my disk (created by FIPS).
Here is what I get when I boot:
uncompressing Linux large kernel, low 1M tight... done
Now booting the kernel
console: colour EGA+ 80x25, 1 virtual console (max 63)
Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 36.08 BogoMips
Serial driver version 4.11 with no serial options enabled
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16450
tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16450
lp1 at 0x0378, using polling driver
PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed
ftape allocated 3 buffer aligned at 00210000
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a 8272A
aha 274x: warning ignoring channel B at 274x-twin
aha 274x: extended translation disabled
aha 274x at EISA SLOT 6
irq 11
bus release time 60 bclks
data fifo threshold 100%
SCSI CHANNEL A:
scsi id 7
scsi bus parity check enabled
scsi selection timeout 256 ms
scsi bus reset at power-on enabled
scsi bus termination enabled
No BIOS32 extensions present. This release still depends on it. Sorry.
scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x (EISA/VL-bus -> Fast SCSI) 1.28/1.11/1.29
scsi : 1 host.
scsi : detected total.
Memory: 13356k/16384k available (868k kernel code, 384k reserved, 1776k data)
This process honours the WP bit even when in supervisor mode. Good.

Checking 386/387 coupling... Ok, fpu using exception 16 error reporting.
Checking 'hlt' instruction... Ok.
Linux version 1.2.8 (root@bigkitty) (gcc version 2.6.3) #1 Sun May 7 15:05:21 CDT 1995
RAMDISK: 1474560 bytes, starting at 0x00228000
VFS: Insert ramdisk floppy and press ENTER
It looks like my partitions and my cd-rom are not recognized.
I have tried almost all the boot disk avalable.
I have tried to put 'ramdisk hd=...' or sd= on boot.
And also 'fdisk sda', sdb, sda1....
Thank you for giving me an answer, I have been working on it
for nerely two week now.
