Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

1 | Goldstar R420 CD-Rom device driver README | ||
2 | |||
3 | For all kind of other information about the GoldStar R420 CDROM | ||
4 | and this Linux device driver see the WWW page: | ||
5 | |||
6 | http://linux.rz.fh-hannover.de/~raupach | ||
7 | |||
8 | |||
9 | If you are the editor of a Linux CD, you should | ||
10 | enable gscd.c within your boot floppy kernel. Please, | ||
11 | send me one of your CDs for free. | ||
12 | |||
13 | |||
14 | This current driver version 0.4a only supports reading data from the disk. | ||
15 | Currently we have no audio and no multisession or XA support. | ||
16 | The polling interface is used, no DMA. | ||
17 | |||
18 | |||
19 | Sometimes the GoldStar R420 is sold in a 'Reveal Multimedia Kit'. This kit's | ||
20 | drive interface is compatible, too. | ||
21 | |||
22 | |||
23 | Installation | ||
24 | ------------ | ||
25 | |||
26 | Change to '/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom' and edit the file 'gscd.h'. Insert | ||
27 | the i/o address of your interface card. | ||
28 | |||
29 | The default base address is 0x340. This will work for most applications. | ||
30 | Address selection is accomplished by jumpers PN801-1 to PN801-4 on the | ||
31 | GoldStar Interface Card. | ||
32 | Appropriate settings are: 0x300, 0x310, 0x320, 0x330, 0x340, 0x350, 0x360 | ||
33 | 0x370, 0x380, 0x390, 0x3A0, 0x3B0, 0x3C0, 0x3D0, 0x3E0, 0x3F0 | ||
34 | |||
35 | Then go back to '/usr/src/linux/' and 'make config' to build the new | ||
36 | configuration for your kernel. If you want to use the GoldStar driver | ||
37 | like a module, don't select 'GoldStar CDROM support'. By the way, you | ||
38 | have to include the iso9660 filesystem. | ||
39 | |||
40 | Now start compiling the kernel with 'make zImage'. | ||
41 | If you want to use the driver as a module, you have to do 'make modules' | ||
42 | and 'make modules_install', additionally. | ||
43 | Install your new kernel as usual - maybe you do it with 'make zlilo'. | ||
44 | |||
45 | Before you can use the driver, you have to | ||
46 | mknod /dev/gscd0 b 16 0 | ||
47 | to create the appropriate device file (you only need to do this once). | ||
48 | |||
49 | If you use modules, you can try to insert the driver. | ||
50 | Say: 'insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/gscd.o' | ||
51 | or: 'insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/gscd.o gscd=<address>' | ||
52 | The driver should report its results. | ||
53 | |||
54 | That's it! Mount a disk, i.e. 'mount -rt iso9660 /dev/gscd0 /cdrom' | ||
55 | |||
56 | Feel free to report errors and suggestions to the following address. | ||
57 | Be sure, I'm very happy to receive your comments! | ||
