Hi :-) This is the problem: Installation on a mixture of Woody and sid :-(
I installed a IDE Controller Card with HPT370 chip from http://www.highpoint-tech.com sold as Davicontrol DC-100 Raid My PC: Hardware: Bios Version: ASUS P5A-B ACPI BIOS Revision 1010 02/24/00-ALADDIN5-PA5A-B-00 If it matters: CPU: AMD-k6 (tm)-2/450 3 Hard Disk one IBM-DTLA-305020 UMDA=5 20 GB one Maxtor 2B020H1 UMDA=5 20 GB one IBM-DTTA-351010 UMDA=2 10 GB (those UMDA setting were suggested from the Bios of the Controller Card) One Phillips CD-RW Since this Card works under Win98 and Caldera 2.4 eDesktop with a kernel provided from Highpoint fine, I figured why should it not do so in Debian? Now after the installation of the Card the original Kernel ( 2.2.19) did not boot the system anymore ( Kernel-panic) ( of course just copying hpt370.o from the Caldera installation to Debian didn't do the trick). I tried to solve the problem by installing a kernel I got from: http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/udma100-ext3/ plainly called _linux_ Instead of installing it with dpkg -i ( since this Kernel did not have the ending .deb) I just copied it into /boot/ as vmlinuz-test1 and changed the /boot/grub/menu.lst to reflect this change. so after the reboot I got a error message that no umda100-xt3 modules could be found and /init.d/rc.2 or so could also not be found.... I was only able to log on as root... and hit the reset-button since I could not reboot.... argh!! :-( so then I got me the kernel-image-2.2.19-ide using this time the command # dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.19.ide there were _NO_ error messages, so I figured that it installed okay, but to my surprise, there were again error messages, this time no /lib/modules/2.2.19-ide can't be found, _even_ though there are _there_ ??? Of course I am on the end of my ropes, vacation time is finished as well, and my Debian box can't be used ( for such occasions I installed Caldera :-)) So how can I solve this problem? Don`t even know where to search for the answer...... Thanks :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
