Re: [PLUG] Help installing to VAIO SuperSlim...
|
so you can't boot from it or you can't install from it? if the install
starts but then linux yells because it can't find the cdrom, then install
is still possible. i installed mandrake 8.0 on an vaio sr33 so the
procedure should be the same for yours. you have to append:
ide2=0x180,0x386
to the install initialization parameters to get linux to recognize the
cdrom.
