This is not however a trivial task. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -OK, first thing - the IRQ problem IS a problem, whether the test is bypassed or -not. It is NOT a Linux problem, but an MWAVE problem that is fixed with the -latest MWAVE patches. So, in other words, don't bypass the test for MWAVES! - -I have Windows 95 on /dev/hda1, swap on /dev/hda2, and Red Hat 5 on /dev/hda3. - -The steps, then: - - Boot to Linux. - Mount Windows 95 file system (assume mount point = /dos95). - mkdir /dos95/linux - mkdir /dos95/linux/boot - mkdir /dos95/linux/boot/parms - - Copy the kernel, any initrd image, and loadlin to /dos95/linux/boot/. - - Reboot to Windows 95. - - Edit C:/msdos.sys and add or change the following: - - Logo=0 - BootGUI=0 - - Note that msdos.sys is a text file but it needs to be made 'unhidden', - readable and writable before it can be edited. This can be done with - DOS' "attrib" command. - - Edit config.sys to have multiple config menus. I have one for windows 95 and - five for Linux, like this: ------------- -[menu] -menuitem=W95, Windows 95 -menuitem=LINTP, Linux - ThinkPad -menuitem=LINTP3, Linux - ThinkPad Console -menuitem=LINDOC, Linux - Docked -menuitem=LINDOC3, Linux - Docked Console -menuitem=LIN1, Linux - Single User Mode -REM menudefault=W95,10 - -[W95] - -[LINTP] - -[LINDOC] - -[LINTP3] - -[LINDOC3] - -[LIN1] - -[COMMON] -FILES=30 -REM Please read README.TXT in C:\MWW subdirectory before changing the DOS= statement. -DOS=HIGH,UMB -DEVICE=C:\MWW\MANAGER\MWD50430.EXE -SHELL=c:\command.com /e:2048 -------------------- - -The important things are the SHELL and DEVICE statements. - - Then change autoexec.bat. Basically everything in there originally should be - done ONLY when Windows 95 is booted. Then you add new things specifically - for Linux. Mine is as follows - ---------------- -@ECHO OFF -if "%CONFIG%" == "W95" goto W95 - -REM -REM Linux stuff -REM -SET MWPATH=C:\MWW\DLL;C:\MWW\MWGAMES;C:\MWW\DSP -SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 -SET MWROOT=C:\MWW -SET LIBPATH=C:\MWW\DLL -SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\MWW\DLL; -CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW -c:\linux\boot\loadlin.exe @c:\linux\boot\parms\%CONFIG%.par - -:W95 -REM -REM Windows 95 stuff -REM -c:\toolkit\guard -SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT -SET MWPATH=C:\MWW\DLL;C:\MWW\MWGAMES;C:\MWW\DSP -REM The following is used by DOS games to recognize Sound Blaster hardware. -REM If hardware settings are changed, please change this line as well. -REM See the Mwave README file for instructions. -SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 -SET MWROOT=C:\MWW -SET LIBPATH=C:\MWW\DLL -SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;E:\ORAWIN95\BIN;f:\msdev\bin;e:\v30\bin.dbg;v:\devt\v30\bin;c:\JavaSDK\Bin;C:\MWW\DLL; -SET INCLUDE=f:\MSDEV\INCLUDE;F:\MSDEV\MFC\INCLUDE -SET LIB=F:\MSDEV\LIB;F:\MSDEV\MFC\LIB -win - ------------------------- - -Now build a file in c:\linux\boot\parms for each Linux config that you have. - -For example, my LINDOC3 config is for a docked Thinkpad at runlevel 3 with no -initrd image, and has a parameter file named LINDOC3.PAR in c:\linux\boot\parms: - ------------------------ -# LOADLIN @param_file image=other_image root=/dev/other -# -# Linux Console in docking station -# -c:\linux\boot\zImage.krn # First value must be filename of Linux kernel. -root=/dev/hda3 # device which gets mounted as root FS -ro # Other kernel arguments go here. -apm=off -doc=yes -3 ------------------------ - -The doc=yes parameter is an environment variable used by my init scripts, not -a kernel argument. - -However, the apm=off parameter IS a kernel argument! APM, at least in my setup, -causes the kernel to crash when loaded via loadlin (but NOT when loaded via -LILO). The APM stuff COULD be forced out of the kernel via the kernel compile -options. Instead, I got an unofficial patch to the APM drivers that allows them -to be dynamically deactivated via kernel arguments. Whatever you chose to -document, APM, it seems, MUST be off for setups like mine. - -Now make sure C:\MWW\MWCONFIG.REF looks like this: - ----------------------- -[NativeDOS] -Default=SB1.5 -SBInputSource=CD -SYNTH=FM -QSound=OFF -Reverb=OFF -Chorus=OFF -ReverbDepth=5 -ChorusDepth=5 -SBInputVolume=5 -SBMainVolume=10 -SBWaveVolume=10 -SBSynthVolume=10 -WaveTableVolume=10 -AudioPowerDriver=ON - -[FastCFG] -Show=No -HideOption=Off ------------------------------ - -OR the Default= line COULD be - -Default=SBPRO - -Reboot to Windows 95 and choose Linux. When booted, use sndconfig to configure -the sound modules and voilà - ThinkPad sound with Linux. - -Now the gotchas - you can either have CD sound OR Mixers but not both. That's a -problem with the SB1.5 (CD sound) or SBPRO (Mixers) settings. No one knows why -this is! - -For some reason MPEG3 files, when played through mpg123, sound like they -are playing at 1/8th speed - not very useful! If you have ANY insight -on why this second thing might be happening, I would be grateful. - -=========================================================== - _/ _/_/_/_/ - _/_/ _/_/ _/ - _/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/ Martin John Bartlett - _/ _/ _/ _/ (martin@nitram.demon.co.uk) -_/ _/_/_/_/ - _/ -_/ _/ - _/_/ -=========================================================== |
