boot problems with hd and cd-rom

[michaa]

Hi,

I have tried to boot from CD with the new koppix 3.6.

I have a hd on IDE primary master and the CD-ROM on IDE secondary master. There are no slaves ( )

When booting, knoppix recognizies the hd as hda, and the CD-rom as hdc, then tries to scan for cd-rom (dev/s???) and freezes...

IMHO, knoppix shold NOT recognize the cd-rom as hdc.... that seems to be the problem

Is this a bug or is there anything I could do to complete the boot process..

tia

hda=primary master
hdb=primary slave
hdc=secondary master
hdd=secondary slave
where is the problem? the CD SHOULD be called HDC, the problem is that the emulation is not needed in 2.6 kernel and therefore is not needed. this is a known bug that is being worked on.
try the noscisi cheatcode,

hdc=Cd-950E/TKU

..ok, it is confusing for me, because It is a CD-Rom, NOT a hd and I thought this was the reason for freezing while scanning for cd-rom...

I will try the cheat code ( I did before, but it seem as if I used a wrong syntax)

thanx

whan you see the boot: line type: knoppix26 atapicd (or knoppix atapicd)
i somehow reverted to 3.3 ways here, sorry my wrong.

I tried "knoppix noscsi" and "knoppix26 noscsi"

both recognize the CD-Rom as hdc

and

both hang after:

Looking for CDROM: \dev\scd0


I was waiting some minutes...


What can I do?


My system:

pentium 200 mmx
654 mb RAM

Anything on the IDE channel is called hdx (with x being a,b,c,d) according to where it is on the channel. It has nothing to do with the type of drive. Linux knows the difference.

did you try atapicd along with [b]noscsi[/b[?
