Hello.
I'm currently trying to install slakware 3.0 from pcmcia card based
cd-rom (produced by panasonic.)
My target computer is IBM thinkpad 701c.
What kind of boot/root disk set should I select?
And if necessary, what parameters should I write to the boot:
prompt?
Thanks for your kind advises...

Thanks.

As far as I know, Slackware doesn't support installation from PCMCIA
SCSI adapters.

1. Problem with IBM Thinkpad 560 and Raven PCMCIA CD-ROM
Hi,
I have installed Slackware 3.3 with kernel 2.0.30 on an IBM Thinkpad
560. It contains 2 PCMCIA cards, slot 0 has a Megahertz
ethernet/faxmodem card and slot 1 contains a RAVEN CDNOTE 4X PCMCIA SCSI
card. When I boot from the diskette using pcmcia.gz image, the cd rom is
detected and I was able to install Linux from the CD. After rebooting, I
get no response from SCSI controller 0, drive 0..and my system hangs.
The CD is set to Address 5, even when changing to address 0 it doesn't
help. If I reboot from the diskette and mount my hard drive, then remove
the /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia file, reboot then I do not get the error.
Obviously I no longer have PCMCIA support!
What is the bare.i, pcmcia.gz images on the diskette doing differently
than the installed kernel?
The I/O address of the card is 230 with IRQ 10. Windows 95 sees this as
a RAVEN KXLC002 pcmcia card and linux sees it as a Qlogic card.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Rob
