I have a Compaq something with a PII-400 and an Intel 440BX/ZX/DX chipset. I put in a Maxtor Ultra133 PCI controller (which is a Promise PDC20269, same as their TX2) and connected the hard drive thereto. Before we go on, I should say that I **hate** both Promise and Compaq. I wouldn't actually BUY this junk. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say. :) (An old idiom I grew up hearing.) A Slackware beta-9 CD, which I think...

Peter, Thank you for isolinux. What a relief to be rid of floppy images! ISOLINUX works great except in one puzzling instance. I recently upgraded my system with a Promise Ultra 133 (PDC20269) controller. In order to boot from either the hard drive or CDROM drive connected to this controller I set the boot device in the motherboard BIOS to SCSI. Everything seemingly works great. Until we get to Linux boot CDs. :-( In testing CD booting via the Promise controller I discovered that stoc...

I sent a note about this a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard anything. I'm really getting a bit desperate. I have a system that I am trying to upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0. I have built it and installed the kernel, but it fails to boot. The boot freezes after probing for my hard drives during the probe of the CDROM. It just sits there, seemingly forever, though I have never waited longer
