| |
I have an old mother board AMI bios circa 6/92. 486 EISA board (well it was a great mother board when I bought it ;-). I have been running SCO Unix with a DPT 2012B EISA controller. I have since upgraded this application to a new machine and was hoping to put Linux on this one.
I have Linux running on a PCI DPT controller with a driver written by neuffer@etc....... Very solid machine and driver. I must thank neuffer for writing this uptime of months (indeed only down when I want it down) and no problesm with multiple drives, cdroms and tapes. Very solid with great performance.
So Cool, just put linux on my old box. The install fails with the following message:
No BIOS32 extensions present. This release depends on it. Sorry.
Unfortunately, so am I. Does any one know
1) Can the driver be fixed/updated/patched to work with this combination?
2) Can I get a bios upgrade for the mother board/controller to get Linux installed?
3) Any other solution??
thanks for any help.
