by The configuration of system I used:
P90, NCR5380 PCI SCSI card(not inboard), 16M ram, Phoenix BIOS
I tried to install Linux with Slackware 2.0. I used a boot disk that had a
generic ncr5380 scsi driver in it. SCSI host was not detected. I specified
ramdisk ncr5380=0x3000,10,0
(I used the starting port no. for PCI card form CMOS setup and also IRQ and
DMA channel)
Everything went fine upto partioning and installing. I created a standard boot
disk.
When I tried to boot with this disk I got kernel panic error. I don't have the
stack dump it produced. But I can reproduce it if needed.
Next I booted from slackware disk. Specified ramdisk option as before. I could
now see the partions I had created. I mounted the root partition I created
under /mnt. Next I tried to run adduser. I got "adduser:not found". I could
not find adduser command in /bin or /usr/bin.
I managed to edit /etc/passwd file and create a login for myself. I also
created home directory. I could login with my own password.But I had to
specify my home directory as /mnt/home/login. Is it the way it is?
Do I have to boot with slackware boot disk and specify ramdisk options
every time? Isn't there a better way.
Where is adduser command on your system?
Thanks for your help.
