I have the InfoMagic CD-ROM set from August 1995, Slackware 2.3,
but it never sees my CD-ROM. (I tried running off the CD-ROM,
and I also manually constructed boot disks and used those.)
I suspect my problem may be related to the following error message.
What means it, "No BIOS32 extensions present. Sorry."?
1. linux, Mitsumi CD-ROM (& SB), & the TA CD-ROM - solved!
Finally!
As I posted recently, I got the TA CD-ROM, and found that the setup kernel
recognized the CD drive, but the installed one didn't. I had trouble with
the recompile, as well.
The answer is:
in (I think it's) /etc/include/linux/drivers/blocks, there are *two*
makefiles. One is named Makefile, the other Makefile.orig. When
I diffed them, I discovered Makefile.orig *had* conditions for
compiling the Mitsumi driver, the Soundblaster driver, and one
other driver, and Makefile *didn't*. I renamed both, and reran
the compile. No problems, using lilo (after the usual moving &
/etc/lilo/install) I boot off my hard drive, I can mount the
CD ROM, etc.
I am emailing TA this, as well.
