A Thought on IDE66 and Linux
Posted in Technology
Wednesday, January 3, 2001
I want to install Linux on the hard drives connected to my IDE-66. Unfortunately, I need a patched version of the Linux kernel in order for the installer to recognize the drive. Wouldn’t it be nice if Linux distributions would allow you to load modules from a floppy? Then I could compile the module and load it on the disk. The installer would load the module into its kernel. Then I could install RedHat in peace. Perhaps I can modprobe at the prompt to accomplish that. I don’t hold much hope for it though.
