Hi,

First of all, I am newcomer to Linux. I need any help. Thanks.

I have a very old PC: AST Pentium 100 with a SCSI CDR-Writer Ricoh MP6200S. The SCSI adapter is AC520 of Advanced Core Inc.

I tried to use Knoppix on this old PC. I first made a boot floppy diskette. After I put the boot diskette into the floppy drive and Knoppix CD into the CDRW, I powered on the machine. The boot diskette boot the system, but it failed to mount the CD file system since it can not find the CDRW and the system prompt for the device driver module for the SCSI card. Since I do not have one, I told it to autoprobe,but failed. After that the system booted with a very limited one.

Would anyone give me some advice?

Windows 98 can be installed on the PC successfully. So I am certain Knoppix will also be installed. On Windows, the SCSI card is identified as AHA 150x/1510/152x/AIC 6xx.


Thanks for any help!
