- Uh (dumb question) How many parallel ports do you have in your system?
- If the answer is 2, or if you have an old CGA/EGA card with a parallel
- port on it (unlikely but...) the LPT2 port uses that interrupt.
-
- #2. Using SLS? did the BOOT show ST-0X at boot time? if no then What
- boot-image are you using?
-
- if Yes:
-
- #3 did you run fdisk as
-
- fdisk /dev/sda
-
- ??? If using scsi disks you must override the defaults everywhere
- (/dev/hda) and you will also have to set your head/sector translations.
-
- Likewise you will have to mkfs/mkefs with /dev/sdaX instead of /dev/hdaX.
