Re: Run in ram test results

I tried out lnx-bbc-i386-2004-01-03T12:01:49-0600.iso

The rir option worked worked fine on:

IBM Thinkpad X21 with 384M
IBM Thinkpad A21P with 512M
IBM Thinkpad T30 with 256M
Fujitsu Lifebook P2110 with 512M

all notebooks. I was also able to setup the ethernet on the Thinkpads.
On the Fujitsu, a Realtek RTL-8139/8139c/8139c+ (rev 10) was detected,
but no module was available for it.

The installed Redhat 9.0 and Knoppix 3.3 (which work) use 8139too

It is notable that lnx-bbc-i386-2004-01-03T12:01:49-0600 is able
to boot on the Fujitsu, as LNX-BBC 2.1 hangs. This is probably
because of the well know idebus problem with the Fujitsu P series,
fixed with ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66 on various linux distributions.
(I used them with Redhat 7.3) Redhat 8 and 9 installed with no
boot options required.

I tried idebus=66 with lnx-bbc 2.1, but it still hangs. Knoppix 3.1
also hangs.

lnx-bbc-i386-2004-01-03T12:01:49-0600 boots on the Fujitsu with
no boot options required.
