Hello.
I've got an older Toshiba T3400CT (486/33 w/8mb mem, 120mb drive) and
I'm trying to install RH51. I have the updated BOOT.IMG and SUPP.IMG
files from the updates directory but that doesn't help.
When I try to boot from the BOOT.IMG floppy the laptop immediately
comes back with "Boot failed" message.
If I try "loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img expert" it loads the
kernel, loads the initrd.img and proceeds to load the kernel. I can
see that it recognizes the Toshiba 120mb hard drive and sees the hda1
and hda2 partitions. But when setup gets to "Disk Druid" or "fdisk"
it tells me I have no hard drive installed. ???? The kernel just saw
the hard drive!
Anyway, I'm still having trouble installing Linux. Anyone have any
suggestions?
