I just installed Debian 2.1 on a system with an Adaptec 2940 controller which ran, among other things, the CD I used. After running into the well-known problems with that controller, I made a boot floppy from the site pointed to in the release notes (in sweden, I think).
>From there on I pointed the install at the CD. I'm pretty sure this means I got the vanilla kernel, because when I try to boot off the hard drive I get the same Adaptec error. I can boot off the same diskette I used for the install, with rescue root=/dev/hdax (from memory) getting me into the main system. So I need to get the good stuff onto the hard drive. How do I do that? I also noticed a reference in the email archives to another site, which had diskette images for the boot disk and another for a driver disk. I never used the latter, and I never told the install process to add a module to get the fixes onto the system. I'd appreciate any advice. If necessary I can do another install, though I'd naturally prefer not to. I spent several hours installing packages. By the way, the hard disk I am using is IDE. The system has a SCSI disk drive (also a SCSI Jaz), but it's full. Thanks in advance.
