RE: [PLUG] Help installing to VAIO SuperSlim...
|
unfortunately, there is no floppy in this machine. i may be able to get a
usb floppy on loan if all else fails.
here is the loadlin batch file, tia for help:
@echo off
if "%1"=="" goto usage
goto goon
:usage
echo usage:
echo linux xxx
echo or (if you want to boot a UMSDOS partion)
echo linux xxx umsdos
echo where xxx means the Linux device name of the root partition.
echo For example: linux hda1 umsdos
goto ende
:goon
set RWRD=ro
if "%2"=="" goto goon2
set RWRD=rw
:goon2
C:\loadlin\loadlin @C:\loadlin\linux.par root=/dev/%1 %RWRD%
:ende

Since the CD-ROM works in Linux (on another machine), perhaps you should
try using a floppy disk to boot from. (Look on your distribution's CD
for their floppy disk images and use rawrite.exe to put it on a floppy.)
This would allow you to get the system up and going and then you might
be able to mount the CD-ROM and proceed with your install.
If that doesn't work, can you post details on what you're trying with
loadlin? ie, how you're invoking it (From the command line or with a
batch file? If with a batch file, what are the contents of it?), what
other files you have alongside loadlin.exe and your kernel image, that
sort of thing.
