ok part of my problem is that I have 2.2.19pre17-compact kernel. 'cause that's the only image I could get to reconize my nic cards for a net install. Any way I was able to find the ide-scsi.o module and some others that belong in the scsi dir but could not find the sr_mod. Looking at prior posts I get the impression that i'll have to do a recompile (always wanted to anyway) I'm not finding much info on doing a recompile the Debian way searching google Debian and the list archives. Will the howto via linuxdoc suffice? Or is there a way to do this with out recompiling? I think I'm only missing the sr_mod. Thanks again. Hope the above wasn't too much rambling.
