Not so, I have Sarge running on 8 Debian servers, all are only SCSI, moreover they are SCSI Hardware RAID. The drivers for the SCSI cards are built into the /initrd.img (man mkinitrd) file that the kernel reads upon bootup. The system will boot from the first device as specified in the BIOS (or whatever your machine uses instead), this will allow the initial bootblock to be read, this then gets the rest of the drivers etc. for booting from the initrd.img, and booting continues from there as normal. If you need *any* drivers for your machine to boot, they need to be included in the /initrd.img file. This is a non-technical description of the process, I'm sure someone more knowledgable than me would be more accurrate.. ;-) Cheers, Pete. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
