[ale] Slack 7.1 on IBM TP701cs

[David S. Jackson]

Hi,

I was just trying to make boot floppies for my ancient IBM
TP701cs laptop so I could install Slack 7.1 on it.  I've made the
bootdisk with the network extras on it, I've made the color.gz
install disk, but when I put in the 2nd disk, it doesn't work.

I remade the root disk on onto another fresh disk, just in case
the disk was bad, but the problem seems to be the same:

[MSj-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT
16,check=n,conv=b,uid0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0x49,cs=7200,#f=218,fs=1246,fl=2617320,ds=571636800,de=57280,date=571640400,se=61098,ts=633471204,ls=31133,rc=0,fc=4294967295]

 . . . msg repeats 2 more times . . . 

Invalid session number or type of track
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:1c (floppy), sector 64
isofs_read_supper: bread failed, dev=02:1c, iso_blknum=16,
block=32
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:1c


It sounds to me like I did something wrong with creating the root
disk.  Or that the color.gz rootdisk doesn't work with my
TP701CS.

Any tips?  Note: I've tried creating color.gz both with rawrite
on a winbox as well as with dd if=color.gz of=/dev/fd0.
