hi i recieved 3 new systems today ..i was unaware of their (lack) of design until i opened the case. they are 1U IDE raid systems from some company called 'pogolinux'. the problem is there is 4 drives, and ALL of them are on the raid controller(3ware). since i am not gonna be using redhat on these systems, i need to figure out the best way to replace the kernel on the rescue disk for debian so it will recognize the drives. either that or i return the systems. I can take care of the compiling kernel and stuff no problem just would like to know if there is a way to replace the kernel image. last time i checked, when i mounted the rescue disk all it was was a bunch of files, so could i just copy my new kernel on top of the old one?(don't need to worry about modules i won't be using any at first, everything will be statically built). or is there something more to it. last time i created a boot disk with kernel-package it seemed to be a rather inflexable boot disk(didn't have lilo, or at least didn't have it configured so i could do other things with it, it would just boot without prompting) i really don't like the idea of having the OS on raid especially because we will be running them in raid0, that would indeed suck to have the OS itself go down because of a storage drive dieing.
any help would be appreciated. thanks! nate
