Hi, I'm trying to install Woody on an server machine with no IDE controller, just a built-in LSI Logic 1030 SCSI controller.
I've been using bf2.4, since this machine has got no PS/2 keyboard connector, just USB. I see that the installer provides the opportunity to load modules from a floppy, but unfortunately this machine has no floppy drive, either. (I understand why they try to keep these servers as minimalist as possible, but it's really quite a pain!) Anyway, I'm not sure where I'd find an appropriate module. All I've found so far comes from the manufacturer, and it's some Red Hat/SUSE-specific disks, and a kernel patch, not stand-alone modules. There's also the modules preload floppy at http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ Does this contain an appropriate module? If I could find the modules I need, could I just add them to the CD image, and then switch to another VT at the right time and insmod them myself? Assuming I do get the installation to work, how am I going to make the jump to getting it to boot from the hard drive? I'll need the driver compiled into the kernel, but how do I get there? Can I boot from a CD, load the appropriate module, and then re-mount my root file system, so that I can build and install the kernel on my hard drive?
