Help with Mitsumi FX001D

Post by Chris Lee Fowl » Fri, 25 Mar 1994 08:52:46



Can anyone help me get linux to recognize my mitsume CD-ROM drive?

I would prefer to use polling mode, but if I can't, the only setup I can use
is address 0x340, irq 3, dma 3.  Is this workable?

I cannot figure out how to change where the kernel looks to begin with.  No
matter what I do, it always looks at 0x300, irq 11.  No Good...

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris Fowler

I can't believe I just installed Linux a week ago and already I'm helping
out.  Cool.

I just went through this, Chris.  Go into /usr/src/linux/include/linux
and edit the file mcd.h.  In there you'll find (in the first few lines
after the header comments) the place to change the address and
interrupt.  Change them to your settings, save the file, and then
recompile & reinstall the kernel.

1. Help with Mitsumi FX001D

I have an Intel 486DX-33 with two HD connected. No I got myself a
Mitsumi FX001D, but connected it to a second IDE-Card, provided by
Mitsumi. DOS eats this nicely (installs it on Port 0x170 and IRQ 15).
I try to install Linux from a CD I bought, but Linux just refuses to 'see'
the CD-ROM. I have tried various things like 'ramdisk mcd=0x170,15' without
success. Anybody seen this problem and can help ?
(Please don't tell me to get a Mitsumi controller card !! It is Xmas season
and I was lucky to get the f... CD-ROM and IDE-controller)

Thanx
