- Hi,
-
- Just recently gotten back into Linux (am running 0.95c+ currently) and
- wanted to upgrade to the most recent version. Downloaded the boot image
- for 0.97 from tsx-11, but when it boots it "hangs" on the SCSI part. My
- machine has 2 IDE drives and one SCSI tape drive. It senses the tape drive,
- as a host, and then seems to hang. Read in the FAQ that this might happen,
- but I have never come out of it. Does anyone have a boot image w/o the
- SCSI code compiled into it? Tryed compiling the new code, but gave up after
- to many configuration errors (make depend + .s.S not working with pmake).
-
- Also, noticed a few posts about a MSDOS filesystem. Can someone forward
- me some info on this? Noticed the usual Mtools info. in the FAQ, but haven't
- seen anything pertaining to a filesystem. Thanks!
