Ok. I have to get debian on this machine with this raid controller - no other drives in the box. It will be the first linux box for this company and I've been the linux evangelist here... and I'm needing help. I've pretty much given up on getting drivers/modules for this controller for current kernels, but if anyone has any, that would be great. This email is instead to pursue the other line of action: using the disks provided by intel to get a base system up and running and then upgrade the kernel from there. That still has problems. The intel controller comes with a cd that makes a set of install floppies: rescue, root and driver modules for the controller. They are at kernel 2.2.19-compact. I boot with the rescue disk, partition the drive, install root, swap and lilo on a boot partition. The problem comes with installing a base system from that. I've tried to find the base system for that kernel online - but archive.debian.org is down and I'm not finding others. I did find an iso of potato that I burned to CD but it was the wrong kernel apparently - 2.2.26 I also tried to apt upgrade with a sources.list I created, but apt isn't installed yet. Any help getting a base system on that? Or how to upgrade with the little bit that is loaded? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
