Very Computer

I've installed linux from a cover cd-rom and got most things working,
the boot and root disks recognise the mitsumi and allow me to install
linux, but once linux is installed and run I get error messages to the effect
That the kernel does not support the mitsumi.  How do I change my kernel
(my boot and root disks are color144 and mitsumi), or get my cdrom
working.

Thanks in advance

You probably need to rebuild the kernel on your hard drive with Mitsumi support.
I believe you simply need to:

        BACKUP YOUR EXISTING KERNEL

        cd /usr/src/linux
        make config (answer lots of questions)
        make dep
        make clean
        make zImage

I use a floppy to boot Linux, so I then

        cp zImage /dev/fd0

I'm kinda new at this Linux thing, but I believe that this list of steps
will get you running... Check your READMEs, HOWTOs, etc on rebuilding
your kernel.

Hope this helps,
