As there are some drivers which cause trouble when used as module, there are additional kernels which contain the corresponding driver compiled in. You can create a new boot/install floppy, if you have access to either a running Linux box or a running DOS box. Choose one of the boot images in this directory according to this README Under DOS, write it to a formatted (i.e. error-free) floppy using CD1:/dosutils/rawrite/rawrite.exe . Under Linux, use a command like cd /whereCD1isMounted/disks dd if=./myBestBootImageAccordingToReadme of=/dev/fd0u1440 Now you have a new boot/install floppy which you can use to boot either the installed system or the rescue system from CD. BTW. if your computer is able to boot from CD-Rom, you can also boot from CD1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- eide01:Standard kernel. Should run on any hardware. If you are unsure, please try this disk first! eide02: Like eide01, but support for special EIDE chipsets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following kernels contain the mentioned SCSI driver compiled in: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- scsi01:aic7xxx(Adaptec 274x/284x/294x) scsi02: BusLogic (all models) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Images: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- mca: Experimental bootdisk for MCA machines rescue: Rescue disk modules: Meanwhile not all modules fit on the bootdisk. Therefore this modules floppy exists. If you do not find the driver for your hardware on the normal disk, just insert the modules disk as soon as linuxrc starts. look in the pub/suse/i386/6.1/disks dir -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
