cannot detect scsi drives with tinycore 3.1 on vmware
quokka:
Hi
Tried upgrading from 2.11 to 3.1 today. With 2.11 I was using vm-scsi-2.6.29.1.tcz so as to enable detection of one of my virtual hard disks. However this extension isn't available/functional for 3.1. Any chance of an update/workaround for this?
many thanks
:)
edit: oh uh...i may have found my solution here

edit again:
nope spoke too soon....the proposed solution above does not work for me and tc 3.1....any ideas?

Well, what happens if you use the scsi-2.6.xxx extension on 3.x? Related dmesg output?
quokka:
ok...firstly i will apologise for my noobness (day job=molecular biologist...i had to look up what dmesg meant!)...i will post here dmesg output from
(a) tinycore 2.11.5 with vm-scsi-2.6.29.1.tcz (this works fine and i can see my drive as /mnt/sda1)
(b) tinycore 3.1 with vm-scsi-2.6.29.1.tcz (cannot see drive in /mnt)
(c) tinycore 3.1with_scsi-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz (as above)
curaga:
Case b is not even supposed to work, so scratch that.
Your old output does not mention the scsi drive at all, are you sure it is from the right system? And taken after boot, after you see sda1?
All three show a 1gb IDE hard drive recognized fine, though.
quokka:
yes i think i posted the wrong thing for (a)...i am reposting demsg from (a) and (c)....redone and double checked...thx for ur patience :)
