Turns out.. that my network drivers aren't supported through 30r1 'cause of .18.. so I'm going to install to IDE.. using my realtek NIC.. grasp all the drivers.. get my scsi working... and try to make my own install disk.. any hints on where to find info on making my own kernel to load MY scsi drivers on the fly... so I can boot directly to my scsi.. and also have a rescue disk.. if needed?

Let us know if this works. I have read another reference to this topic (suse list) that uses a aic79xx module,(same mb) which isn't available in Woody kernel sources. - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2Q0fk7rtxKWZzGsRAo2SAJ4/cnSlsBxOb0lTAoi/flVJi16i+gCg2QMe LEBbVnXOYnikYOuuiA5Lbc0= =KPQY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
