hello all,

I've got a bit of a problem and as i'm a bit of a linux noob i dont know what to do.
Im stuck at the first boot script were you have to copy the word.
there doesnt seem to be a moving cursor and i cannot do anything :cry:

i'm using a gamester xpad

my install was from ftp i extracted the home distro.rar to E and the gentoox bios loads the linuxboot.cfg.

i've run magic from ssh, that took all morning.

any help will be apreciated :D

Do you havea regular Xpad, and have you tried that?
Your pad might not be supported yet.

this is the info that should be put in xpad.c

idVendor: 0x0E4C
idProduct: 0x1097
Radica Gamester Controller

i'm a super linux noob so i havent got a clue how to compile a cromwell cvs

so any help would be great :D

If you edit the file then do

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make modules modules_install
