RC2 on an ibm 560z laptop as a testbed:
bootfloppy and pcmciafloppy work great as in RC1,
however dsl can not recognize a usb harddrive -
specifically a western digital passport 80gig,
used right out of the box (it comes formated with fat32)
this same drive is easily seen in kubuntu on another machine.
please advise.

Hallo y' all,

I just burned V2.3 RC2 on cd and booted a HP pc (D31M, 2.4 Ghz) and everything works well. I updated/upgraded? my usb-stick which has a working dsl-hd-install on it (OK, upgrading worked great, my stick still boots and my settings were still there)

Then i tried to boot from cd/usb on a Hp Pc (DX2000M, 3 Ghz)... That didn't work.. (even with failsafe, strange.. there was also NO bootpicture, f2 and f3 did work and i tried al sorts of cheatcodes)

To bad.. I still love DSL

Some data concerning the Dx2000M:

Pentium ® 4 Hyper threaded
Intel ® 82801 EB LPC/PCI bridge/SMBus controller
Intel ® 82865/PE/P/GV/8284P Processor to IO controller
1500 Mb internal memory :-)

Okay, I think I have narrowed it down....I compared the dsl-windows.bat file from RC1 (which works) to RC2 (which doesn't)

When I run the RC2 Bat file, a second Command window opens with an error, but usually too quick to shutdown with an error for me to catch...but I did it says:

could not open '\\.\kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated

So I continued to examine the .bat files and fiddle with them. If I remove the -m 96 -soundhw sb16 from the .bat file, it will start fine albiet with no audio.

Did the version of QEMU change also? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still wondering if anyone else has this pronblem, or if I am the only one...

Qemu did change to version 0.8.0 and that is why the commands changed. If you downloaded the embedded zip file, you should have the latest version of Qemu with the correct commands.

However, if you replaced certain DSL files in an USB drive you previously had rc1 on then the version of qemu is 0.7.2 and needs to be replaced.
