Hello Sven

Yes, I know that the qla23xx need a firmware but the megaraid no, and for install my debian I need only the megaraid module.
I extract the megaraid.ko and via a busybox I download this file with wget.
but the installer continue to say me no disks :-( (I see in the menu lists the megaraid choice)
I'm ready to compile my own kernel for the qla but if I cannot acces to the system disk at the boot process ....
I'm completely despite because I try to install the debian distrib from april each time that I can shutdown the system, and each time another disks drivers problem apear.

Thanks for your help
Guy

Well, :

$ grep MEGA arch/*
arch/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_SAS=m
$ grep MEGA arch/i386/*
arch/i386/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN=y
arch/i386/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM=m
arch/i386/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX=m
arch/i386/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY=m
$ grep MEGA arch/ia64/*
arch/ia64/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN=y
arch/ia64/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM=m
arch/ia64/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX=m
arch/ia64/config:CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY=m

You seem to be right, but look at :

  http://doolittle.icarus.com/~larry/fwinventory/2.6.17.html

and at least the ql ones are non-free and will probably be removed in the near
future, or at least for the etch release. The megaraid ones appear to be free
though.

Friendly,
