    Hy Gedia,

    i figured out, that with new kernel you dont nee dhc or hdb anymore..

    it just works with sda…

    thats what i did:

    i updated my old HS3 (on kvm) to the new 4.0
    the major change was the harddisk is now sda and no longer hdc
    i use a suse11.3 64bit (know its not the newest).
    created 4 partitions:
    /dev/sda1               1         132     1060258+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/sda2             133        1177     8393962+  83  Linux
    /dev/sda3            1178        1309     1060290    6  FAT16
    /dev/sda4            1310        1441     1060290    6  FAT16

    then i extracted the firmware file from experte 4 (zip) for HS3
    (because i works with my old mac-address)
    therefor i unpacked the inird with
    gzip -dc ../INITRD | cpio -id
    to a dir..

    then i copied the hs dir to the rootpath of my linux
    and when i started i needed to install some python-packages..
    but first i copied all the python-dirs to my linux /usr/lib/python
    there is a PIL dir which is needed..

    then i can start it. With a script.

    *****************************************
    PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python/PIL
    export PYTHONPATH
    TZ=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/2:00,M10.5.0/3:00
    export TZ
    hwclock –hctosys –utc
    setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig
    setserial /dev/ttyS1 autoconfig

    #only needed for serial transfer 1 time:
    #/hs/bin/hs_main trans
    #killall -9 python

    /hs/bin/hs_main main
    reboot
    *********************
    The communication for the first time I did with a nullmodem cable to windows8
    The serialport on the new hs was ttys0…. It also changed…
    Now it works fine…

    on original HS4-hardware there are
    15MB
    110MB
    870MB
    870MB

    all dos formatted, but the do something strange with turbodisk..
    and then start it with loadlin to a ram -image. with busybox
