[comp.os.minix] Minix on HP-Vectra ES/12

stefan@hpbbr1.bbn.hp.com (Stefan Spahr) (12/05/90)

In comp.os.minix I reported my problems with Minix 1.5 installation on a
HP-Vectra ES/12 AT.

Now, I solved the readall problem.

You should really double check what fdisk says about heads and
cylinders !  (Thanks Earl !!!)

But the problem was the error message ' Controler not ready in com_out'
Because Minix hangs up after few of these error lines.

You must boot with the universal boot disk. 

No problem with readall !

After the installation I runs in protected mode. No problems, yet.

O.K. Thanks for help !!

   Stefan.
