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. Here's a link to intel's support page for the controller (emails to intel have not been answered two days and counting): http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/srczcr/ 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? Another guess I have is to use the driver's for other linux distros that are based on a different kernel - such as the redhat 7.2 driver (which I think is a 2.4 kernel?) but how would I go about converting? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
