Did you put "append="hdc=ide-scsi" in your /etc/lilo.conf file ?
==> Yes, I did it
Did you then rerun lilo so that the change would take effect?
==> Yes, I did it and I did a "dd if=/dev/hda5 of=boot.lnx bs=512 count=
1" for boot from WinXP. The file boot.lnx was put in the C:
drive root directory with a boot.ini modified.
Did you link /dev/sr0 to /dev/cdrom via "ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom"?
==> Yes, I did it.
I known that I did. I use the Slack from the 3.1. I am not an
expert, and not a beginner. I don't know all the features of
linux. But I know that "append="hdc=ide-scsi" leads to a new
device during boot in an normal case. Not for the Slack 9.0 without
the kernel-source.
About the ethernet card, instead of the Slack 8.1, the driver is in the
kernel for the Slack 9.0. I did not have to modify the rc.modules. At th
e first after installatin, the card was recognized.
After, I put an IP address, a mask and a gateway with the netconfig comm
and (the same parameters under Slack 8.1). I rebooted and I could see th
at the IP address was not listed. I tried several "netconfig"
with the same parameters and reboots with no success. After installation
of kernel source, I did only a reboot and then I could see the IP addre
ss. I did nothing else !
If you can't explain that, nevermind. It works well like this
but I wanted to understand this behaviour.
Sorry
