The file eata_in_kernel.gz represents the image of a Slackware 2.1.0 boot disk compiled with the new DPT controller code found in kernels 1.1.64 and up. This disk is a 1.44 Meg floppy with kernel 1.1.75. It was compiled with the QUOTA patch, which should not cause any problems for you though. The bootdisk will also support IDE, and has SCSI support for disk, tape and CDROM. Net cards included at 3C501, 3C503, 3C509/79 and NE1000/2000. Previously, I was using the DPT code mentioned in the SCSI-HOWTO, the driver written by Cyril. This older driver is now compatible with the new kernel driver after 1.1.74. But I still recommend: ***BE CAREFUL AND BACKUP EVERYTHING!!!!!*** Let me say that again. **** BE VERY VERY CAREFUL AND BACKUP EVERYTHING!!!! *** If you need a kernel, you can do a 'mount -t minix /dev/fd0 /mnt' and then copy off the kernel. (You may also use 'rdev' to change the kernel's root partion.) Good luck! Steve...
