Message-ID: <20010305184639.A3532@oro.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-mtd@infradead.org List-ID: I've looked all over, and from what I can gather, you need to update your chip from DOS with "dformat.exe /win:d000 /s:doc2.fff /y" (or the linux equivalent). I've done that, but I still can't get it to boot, in fact now I don't even get the "dLI" that I used to. Though I can mount it and read and write it from Linux 2.4.2 (using your drivers I'm guessing). The lilo I got from M-Sys but changed the patch to work with your major number instead of the M-Sys one. Do I just need an updated doc2.fff file? If so, where do I get it? I got mine from www.m-sys.com dos utilities version 4.2 and Linux drivers version 4.2.1 (they would let me read and write too, but no luck booting with these drivers either). Any help? If I need to use grub, fine. (I'd prefer LiLo though) I just need it to boot Linux (with only 1 full size ext2 partition). I have 2 machines: Advantech PCM-4823 Advantech PCM-4823L I have 2 chips: DOC-2000 16MB What looks like a DOC-2000 8MB, but your drivers say Milenium. I haven't yet tried anything with the 16MB chip, because I've gotten nowhere on the 8MB (the first one I picked up, and tried getting to work). Thanks, Ralph.
