Greetings linux-kernel;
I have a problem with my ESDI controller under Linux. I decided it was time to move my trusty 386sx with an OMTI 8627 ESDI controller and NEC D3661 disk (http://theref.c3d.rl.af.mil/controllers/c_omti-8627.html and http://theref.c3d.rl.af.mil/hard_drives/h_nec_d3661.html) to Linux.
So, I booted up the Debian 2.0.36 install disk. It didn't find my hard disk. Consulting the HOWTO, I found that the only mention of OMTI controllers was as 8-bit XT controllers; this controller is a 16-bit controller. Regardless, I tried using the suggested xd=8,5,0x320,3 to force OMTI controller recognition. No luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions what boot flags or kernel would be best to recognize such a controller and drive? Or do I just have to go back to VSTa which handled the controller just fine (presumably through the BIOS) or do some coding?
David.
