Hard disk icons not created on desktop nor fstab

[ottod]

I have been using 06-06 and 07-26 on my desktop computer without problems, but on my Toshiba laptop 07-26 is not able to boot. It hangs on creating /etc/fstab. With the dma cheatcode it starts up ok but it does not see hard disk partitions of any kind. I can not mount them manually either. Is there any way to boot successfully this version on this kind of hardware? I have seen posts with problems like this but with no answer. Thank you.

Have you tried booting the 6-6-03 version on your laptop? What hardware in the laptop?

Are you using dma or the nodma cheatcode?

Exactly how are you trying to mount the hard drives? From the CLI?

It is a Toshiba 1800-S207, celeron 1.1 Ghz 240 Mb Ram 16 Mb shared video ram, 20 Gb hd, dvd/cd-rw.
Both 06-06 and 07-26 work on the laptop but 07-26 does not see the hd, either with the dma or the nodma cheatcodes. 06-06 works wonderfully.
