Download this bootable linux iso from crashrecovery.org :
ftp://ftp.crashrecovery.org/pub/linux/CrashRecoveryKit/iso/2.4.5/crash245.iso
Burn this to a CDR using your favorate method to burn iso's. download
your new binary firmware version :
http://www.plextor.be/download/ftp1/716A108.zip
download the following pxupdate linux binary from ftp.berlios.de :
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/firmware/plextor/pxupdate-1.39-i686-pc-linux-gnu
Unzip 716A108.zip and copy this together with
pxupdate-1.39-i686-pc-linux-gnu onto a single floppy. I just used the tar
command under linux :
| Code: |
[jackson:root](~)# tar cvf /dev/fd0 pxupdate-1.39-i686-pc-linux-gnu 716A108.bin PXUpdate.txt
pxupdate-1.39-i686-pc-linux-gnu
716A108.bin
PXUpdate.txt
[jackson:root](~)#
The following procedure will only work if you boot crash245.iso from a
CD/DVD driver other as your Plextor DVDR 716A. So if your 1st
CD/DVD-ROM drive is secondary/master and the Plextor is secondary/slave
then enter at the LILO boot: prompt the following :
LILO boot: linux hdd=ide-scsi<Enter>
login as root, and type install-cdrom , select the CD/DVD-ROM drive you
booted from. next do this :
[tinker:root](~)# cd /lib/modules
[tinker:root](~)# ln -s /cdrom/modules/2.4.5 .
Next load the ide-scsi linux kernel driver :
[tinker:root](~)# modprobe ide-scsi
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI device
Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: DVDR PX-716A Rev: 1.07
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
[tinker:root](~)#
[tinker:root](~)# tar xvf /dev/fd0
pxupdate-1.39-i686-pc-linux-gnu
716A108.bin
PXUpdate.txt
[tinker:root](~)#
[tinker:root](~)# ./pxupdate-1.39-i686-pc-linux-gnu -l
