Article Title: let linux support your DMA66 hard drive. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
I am using a Promise ultra DMA 66 card in RH 6.2. on The RH website I downloaded the 6.0 driver, but get a version error
Tips: How can I use this card in RH?
If windows has been installed on your computer, you do not need to download the RH kernel patch to support your card.
First, go to Win 98, enter the Device Manager, and select "properties" of Promise card in "scsicard". on the "resources" page,
Find the first input/output range (on my computer, the range is 1440-1447. Note that you may be different from mine ). In the list
Several input/output ranges, but we only need to use the first range.
Restart the computer, start the installation with the RH6.2 disc, and enter the command when the initialization prompt "boot:" appears.
Linux ide2 = 0 xNNNN
NNNN is the previous value in the input/output range of 98. for example, if I enter linux ide2 = 0x1440
You can start to install RH 6.2. Note: The main IDE port on Ultra66 card is IDE2 and the hard disk is connected to the device/dev/hde.) after RH is installed,
Restart your computer. when the "lilo boot:" prompt appears, run the following command:
Linux ide2 = 0x1440
Restart linux, and edit the file/etc/lilo. conf in the following way. after modification, save the disk and exit,
Run the/sbin/lilo command.
/Etc/lilo. conf file:
--------------------------
Boot =/dev/hde
Map =/boot/map
Install =/boot. B
Prompt
Timeout = 50
Linear
Default = dos
Image =/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
Label = linux
Read-only
Root =/dev/hde7
Append = "ide2 = 0x1440" <=== add this line
Other =/dev/hde2
Label = dos
----------------------------
In this way, you don't need to enter it every time you start it. you can press enter to enter linux
Tip: Use the following command to start with loadlin:
C: \ loadlin \ loadlin.exe c: \ loadlin \ vmlinuz ide2 = 0x1440 root =/dev/hde7 ro
