driver for SCSI http:/www.tekram.com DC-395UW for Slackware 8.1
Samudra E. Haque
patch 2.2.19 cleanly, but compile fails! I guess upon inspection, the
supplied kernel (for tekram scsi boot disk) was based upon 2.2.16 originally
based upon Slackware 7.1. Any one got it working under Slackware 8.x such
as 2.2.19 ?
Hello, SLACKWARE.COM Thanks for the Slackware dists, I am on my 22nd server
so far since .. 1998! please note that your Slackware 8.1 distribution only
supports the OLDER version of http://www.tekram.com SCSI drivers, I recently
tried to load it and found that the TEKRAM 395UW driver provided by Tekram
(though GPL, source code provided) is NOT included within the Slackware,
7.x, 8.x distribution, but the older tekram drivers are. In Bangladesh, I am
intending to roll out 100+ servers recently for use in the remote villages
as nodes in a point-to-point broadband wireless router network, and would
have liked native support. But if in case you decide not to use the updated
driver in your future release, please put a note on the CD-ROM that the
TEKRAM driver is for the old version only. Please see the attached readme
below from their web site:
Thanks,

2. SlackWare Linux installation
A. Before Installation - Under DOS environment:
=>You need to make a boot diskette and a root diskette first
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% make boot disk %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Slackware 7.1:
C:\> pkunzip tekram71.zip =>> tekram.s
C:\> rawrite tekram.s A: =>> boot diskette for installation
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% make root disk %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
C:\> pkunzip color.zip =>> color.gz
C:\> rawrite color.gz A: =>> root diskette for installation
(color.gz would be found at Slackware release CD "rootdsks")

B. Installation
a. Using installation diskette that you made to install SlackWare Linux.
Following the Linux installation procedures to install.
b. When the installing screen display " INSTALL LINUX KERNEL ".
- Select "bootdisk Use the kernel from the installation bootdisk",
- and re-insert the "boot diskette" to floppy drive A:
c. Exit Slackware Linux Setup while the installation is completed
e. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot system
3. Remake new kernel
P.S: You must install your Linux system by developmental environment
and include kernel source first.
