I just recently received an IBM Aptiva 233Mhz, I put 128 RAM in there because it had 32, 6.4Gb hd. Ok so The Cmos was alreay set to boot up a cd so I stuck the cd in and about half way through normal boot process, it gets stuck. it says:

Looking for puppy partition on hdc (iso9660 filesystem)

(about 1 minute later)

ide-cd: cmd 0x28 timed out
hdc: DMA interrupt recovery
hdc: lost interrupt
hdc: status error: status=0x58 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: drive not ready for command

Then every following minute it shows:

ide-cd: cmd 0x28 timed out
hdc: DMA interrupt recovery
hdc: lost interrupt
hdc: status error: status=0x08 { DataRequest }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: drive not ready for command

I'm stumped on this one so if anyone has had the same problem and found a solution, I would be greatly appreciate hearing it. Thanx in advance.

Those are signs of unsuccessful CD reads - bad burn or bad CD drive.

You can test the CD in other machines or check its md5sum (compare with the published md5sum). If CD is OK, only the CD drive is suspect.

There is a DOS install if CD proves too troublesome...

Runemaster, long time no see - is school back on?

These messages are an almost certain sign of DMA conflicts on the IDE channel, particularly common with portables where the CD and HD are normally on the same ribbon.

Please try booting and at the boot prompt type:

Code: Select all

boot: puppy ide=nodma

You may also need to try all the combinations of ACPI=[off|on|force] and possibly noapic as well.

Good luck,
Mark

Yep, it's back to the old grind for me. I'm in my junior year now. So it won't be much longer. Yea, I haven't booted up puppy in awhile now because I was getting tired of my dad giving me weird looks everytime I booted puppy on his lappy which is the main comp. in the house, I mean he knew what I was doing. But he's just paranoid, because well that's just my dad for you. But anyways back to the subject. I think I know why its giving me these errors. I left my puppy cd over at a friends house and I went over there to get it back and I had To scrape some crap off of it, just thinking it would be fine but I can obviously see that that is most probable cause of the situation. And if making a new cd doesn't work then raffy would probably be right seeing as it had Win95 on there. Other than that everything else seems to be in good condition, as I said before I had to up the RAM from 32 to 256(lol). I just cracked It open, dusted it out, stuck some ram in there and it booted up 95 with no problems. So thanx guys!

P.S. When and if I get this thing to work, I will problably be more frequent on here then.

Wow! I've been out of the game for awhile! I was using 2.02, and ya'll were only just talking about 2.10, and ya'll even have 2.11! Nice!

It's actually just three versions because we skipped from 2.02 to 2.10. I'm also still using 2.02, but I have my system set up to boot 2.11. I just haven't gotten around to switching over.

Runemaster
By any chance is your CD drive jumper set to CS?

Yea in fact it is, and me being the idiot I am, I didnt see it labeled anywhere so I took of the metal casing, only to find it in the sticker in the top of the metal case. But I've got 2 or 3 more lying around here.=P

So I burned a copy of 2.11, I just threww that old one out I tore up, and stuck in another one, and it works fine now. Now I just need a driver for the D-Link DWL-G122 Hardware Ver. B1 Firmware Ver. 2.02 . It's a little USB receiver so this should be a bit of a challenge, because I've never heard of anyone in the puppy community using a USB Wi-Fi receiver.

There are several variants of the DWL-G122, some may have drivers built in to Puppy. Could you plug in the device, run usbview and let us know the Vendor ID and Product ID.
I have an older USB device (not from D-Link), and it works just fine with Puppy.

I notice Barry's Developer News in the past week says he has built the RT2570 driver for 2.11 or 2.12 - entry for 20 Oct2 006:
