These 8 floppy image's contain almost complete support for getting all your hardware going on a Intel i386/i486/i586/i686 Pentium Pro and Pentium II system. Network, SCSI , filesystem and PCMCIA support is included. I use these images always first when I get a new Intel system in front of me. boot2033.img : the boot floppie, boots linux kernel 2.0.33 root41.img : comes next and loads a redhat 4.1 runtime as a ram disk. It needs at least 8 Mb RAM. If you have only 8 Mb RAM and want to use the support images, then for instance mount first a filesystem (e.g. msdos) and install a swapfile : login as root, no password required :) (insert suppfs.img in a:\ ) # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cp /floppy/sbin/insmod /sbin (only for rootrh41.img) # cd /floppy/modules/fs # insmod nls.o # insmod nls_cp437.o # insmod nls_iso8859-1.o # insmod fat.o # insmod msdos.o # mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1024 count=8192 # mkswap /mnt/swapfile 8192 # sync # swapon /mnt/swapfile rootrh50.img : is the same as root.img but loads a full featured redhat 5.0 runtime as a ramdisk. You can just use rootrh50.img together with the other images. It has the same functionality as root.img but with the following additional features : vim ftp ps rlogin telnet (tiny telnet) color-ls complete e2fsprog kit This image already contains its insmod end rmmod binary's and uses glibc2 (libc6). suppnet.img : contains modules to load : - network cards : 3c501.o at1700.o eepro.o ibmtr.o smc-ultra.o 3c503.o bsd_comp.o eepro100.o ne.o smc-ultra32.o 3c505.o de4x5.o eexpress.o new_tunnel.o smc9194.o 3c507.o de600.o eql.o ni52.o tlan.o 3c509.o de620.o eth16i.o ni65.o tulip.o 3c59x.o depca.o ewrk3.o plip.o wd.o 8390.o dgrs.o fmv18x.o ppp.o ac3200.o dlci.o hp-plus.o sdla.o apricot.o dummy.o hp.o slhc.o arcnet.o e2100.o hp100.o slip.o suppfs.img : contain modules to load : - filesystems : affs.o nls_cp850.o nls_cp869.o nls_koi8_r.o ext.o nls_cp852.o nls_cp874.o ntfs.o fat.o nls_cp855.o nls_iso8859_1.o smbfs.o hpfs.o nls_cp857.o nls_iso8859_2.o sysv.o isofs.o nls_cp860.o nls_iso8859_3.o ufs.o msdos.o nls_cp861.o nls_iso8859_4.o umsdos.o ncpfs.o nls_cp862.o nls_iso8859_5.o vfat.o nls.o nls_cp863.o nls_iso8859_6.o xiafs.o nls_cp437.o nls_cp864.o nls_iso8859_7.o nls_cp737.o nls_cp865.o nls_iso8859_8.o nls_cp775.o nls_cp866.o nls_iso8859_9.o - cdrom drivers (non-scsi and non-atapi) : aztcd.o cdu31a.o gscd.o mcdx.o sbpcd.o sonycd535.o cdrom.o cm206.o mcd.o optcd.o sjcd.o - IPV4 : ip_alias.o ip_masq_irc.o ip_masq_vdolive.o ip_masq_cuseeme.o ip_masq_quake.o ipip.o ip_masq_ftp.o ip_masq_raudio.o rarp.o suppscsi.img : contains modules to load : - SCSI cards : 53c7,8xx.o aha1542.o eata_pio.o pas16.o tmscsim.o AM53C974.o aha1740.o fdomain.o ppa.o u14-34f.o BusLogic.o aic7xxx.o g_NCR5380.o qlogicfas.o ultrastor.o NCR53c406a.o dtc.o gdth.o qlogicisp.o wd7000.o advansys.o eata.o in2000.o seagate.o aha152x.o eata_dma.o ncr53c8xx.o t128.o suppmisc.img : contains modules to load : - Misc drivers (o.a. isdn) appletalk.o capidrv.o iBCS lp.o riscom8.o atixlmouse.o capiutil.o icn.o misc.o specialix.o b1pci.o cyclades.o ipx.o msbusmouse.o busmouse.o ftape.o isdn.o pcbit.o capi.o hisax.o kernelcapi.o psaux.o pcmcia.img : contains PCMCIA stuff and util binary's for redhat41 en redhat50: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56544 Apr 14 00:28 find* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24324 Apr 14 00:29 more* drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Apr 20 17:56 pcmcia/ Getting the network going : 1. # mkdir /usr/tmp 2. # vi /etc/hosts (plug in your ip numbers and host names) 3. mount suppnet.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/sbin # cp insmod /sbin (only for redhat41 runtime) # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts # cp ifcfg-eth0.org ifcfg-eth0 # vi ifcfg-eth0 (plug your ip number and netmask and broadcast address) # cd /floppy/modules/net # insmod 3c509.o ( if your NIC is such a card ) # cd /etc/rc.d/init.d # ./network stop ; ./network start # ping hostname ( ping some host on the network ) Getting SCSI going : 1. mount suppscsi.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/sbin # cp insmod /sbin (only for redhat41 runtime) # cd /floppy/modules/scsi # insmod aic7xxx.o ( if you have a aha2940 scsi card) Getting PCMCIA going : 1. mount pcmica.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/redhat50/pcmcia # cp -ap * / & # cd /tmp/pcmcia/init.d # cp pcmcia /etc/rc.d/init.d # /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start Getting FAT32 going : 1. mount suppfs.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/sbin # cp insmod /sbin (only for redhat41 runtime) # cd /floppy/modules/fs # insmod nls.o # insmod nls_cp437.o # insmod nls_iso8859-1.o # insmod fat.o # insmod msdos.o # insmod vfat.o # mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt ( If hda1 contains a FAT32 filesystem) Getting XXX going : E-Mail me at stock@sba.nl or at stock@infomagic.nl Robert M.
