Description of Problem: ----------------------- For data migration I'm using external hdd on paralel port - with epat chip. It is working fine under linux with modules parport_pc, parport, paride, epat and pd. I would like to install on this external hdd RedHat linux. It's any way for it ? I thing it will be simple solvable. On one drivers disk are modules for communication with external CD-ROM. If on it will be modules epat and pd too, I thing, that external hdd will be accesible too (and anaconda should be show pdX drives too). Problem will be with kernel too, abut I thing that users must recompile it as well hthey have some exotic hardware .... Actual Results: --------------- Actual I can only install system on local hdd and then copy system on destination (external) hdd. But this procedure is very unpractical. Expected Results: ----------------- * comprehend modules epat and pd on paride drivers disk (?) * resolve access on pdX drives from anaconda Additional Information: ----------------------- Thank you very much for any help.
I don't know if the drivers on the driver disk are compiled for the 2.4 kernel. I'm sure that there is a way to do it if you have the time to mess with it, but we don't support installing to a parallel port device.
