Subject: [ltp] A cry for help with installation on a 560
I have a 560 thinkpad with a sony discman cd-rom using a using a scsi =
II card from adaptec (1460A). I have tried to install Red Hat 7.1 by =
creating both a boot.img disc and a pcmcia.img disc and a pcmciaadd.img =
disc, but to no avail. I simply cannot get the red hat installation to =
load necessary drivers and recognize my cd-rom. Since I can't install =
anything I don't know how to go about trying to make the linux dist. =
recognize my cd-rom. Does anyone know what I should do? From what I have =
found out through the internet the adaptec 1460A should work with linux. =
Still having hope=20
