Release Candidates :: DSL 2.0RC2!

Thanks for the feedback, cbagger.
I am hoping that we can streamline the procedure.
I have some code in dsl-config that will load modules like extensions via the boot time option modules=hdXY

Any idea when a final release of version 2 will be available?

sudo su
/etc/mkwritable
tar -zxvf modules_cut.tar.gz -C /
modprobe ata_piix
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
exit
exit

mkwritable?? :angry:

I can't find that file, and desperately need sata-support.
Is there another way to use the modules in modules_cut.tar.gz?

I think that was a typo....should have been /etc/init.d/mkwriteable

Correct.

I was typing from memory from earlier in the day, but I could not connect to the web site at the time.

The general concept is the same for other SATA drivers, just replace

modprobe ata_piix

with your appropriate driver name, such as

modprobe ahci

for example.

Other driver modules of note are:

sata_nv
sata_promise
sata_qstore
sata_sil
sata_sis
sata_svw
sata_sx4
sata_uli
sata_via
sata_vsc

depending on your computer's chipset. You need to use google to learn the type of chipset/driver combo is required for your SATA controller.

Newer versions of the KNOPPIX 2.4.x kernel autodetection routines MAY be able to automatically detect the correct driver, maybe knoppix 3.6 or 3.7

Otherwise, the newest KNOPPIX autodetection routines would need to be backported to work with the 2.4.x kernel. My guess is that this would not be too hard, mainly replacing ".ko" with ".o" in a lot of different places. But that is easy for me to say because I have not done it myself
