Newbie with DOC2000

Newbie with DOC2000

[Carlos Mateo]

I am trying to access a DOC2000, but I failed so far.
I am using kernel 2.4.4.  I have recompiled it with
DOC support (M-Sys DOC200, Direct char device access
to MTD devices, FTL support, NTFL support and write
support for NTFL).
The kernel boots fine, but I am not able to do
anything with the DOC (fdisk, mke2fs...).
 
Any hints on what I should do?
 
Thank you

Carlos,

What does your system log say?  Run dmesg and see if the DoC was detected 
correctly, and if the nftl driver found any partitions.

Also check your /dev entries for nftla: nftla should be 93,0; /dev/nftla1 
should be 93,1.. etc.

Mark,
My system log says:

M_Systems DiskOnChip driver. (C) 1999 Machine Vision
Holdings, Inc.
Using configured probe address 0xd000
Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 63 found at
0xd000
M-Systems NAND Flash Translation layer driver.  (C)
1999 MVHI
$Id:nftl.c, v 1.57 2000/12/01 17:51:54 dwww2 Exp $

I have noticed that I can only boot when there is no
firmware in the DOC.  When I use the firmware (5.1.2)
for linux, I cannot boot, because when lilo tries to
take control, I get a "EBDA too big" error.

You only need the MSYS firmware installed in the DOC if you want to boot from 
the DOC or access it from DOS as a DOS drive..

For Linux use you should probably consider installing the GRUB based DOC 
firmware...

The EBDA error is related to having a too old LILO version I think. Have never 
used LILO in a DOC system, only GRUB. The current CVS versions of GRUB works 
fine in systems having a MSYS DOC firmware installed.

Henrik
