Hello Forum,

I need a Rescue-System with Udev, which boots from Floppy and provides ethernet-access.

I've found none Floppy-Distribution for this application.

My joyce is at the moment Knoppix 3.7.

- SCSI-Cdrom is used as secondary Boot-Device (not supportet from Biso, but used for Knoppix-CDrom.
- no IDE at all.
- SCSI-Controller Adaptec AIC-7850 BIOS v1.24 is onboard.

I wasn't able to create 1,68MB-Boot-Floppies for the big 2.6 Kernel.

So I decidet to create a Win98-Bootdisk, add support for SCSI, install loadlin to boot Linux/Knoppix from CD.

The 2.4 Kernel works fine. The used ´module is known as aic7xxx.o. Knoppix-CD is working. But because of the 2.5 there is no udev at all. Deffs is not my way because of different device-names at my Mylex DAC960.

The 2,6 boots as well, till no module wass loadet. The first module for scsi is named tmscsim.o. There is no Adaptec, as well as no CDrom. Booting stopps here.

I had tried to use the option aic7xxx on loadlin, but it follows the same.

"What to do now?" is the question.

By the way my autoexec.bat,

Code:
@echo off

MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%

rem loadlin C:\boot\isolinux\linux24 root=/dev/sda initrd=C:\boot\isolinux\minirt24.gz

loadlin C:\boot\isolinux\linux26 ramdisk_size=100000 aic7xxx root=/dev/sda initrd=C:\boot\isolinux\minirt26.gz

rem (-)loadlin C:\boot\isolinux\linux26 ramdisk_size=100000 root=/dev/scd0 initrd=C:\boot\isolinux\minirt26.gz
rem (-)loadlin C:\boot\isolinux\linux26 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=de apm=power-off initrd=C:\boot\isolinux\minirt26.gz

rem loadlin C:\boot\isolinux\linux24 root=/dev/sda initrd=C:\boot\isolinux\minirt24.gz
and my config.sys.

Code:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20

device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspicd.sys /D:mscd001

LASTDRIVE=Z
