I'm not used to the issue of unsuppoted boot devices. I have an on-board
SCSI controller (sym53c8(1010)) that isn't supported by the RH7 or RH6.2
install. I have a disk image from LSILogic that allows me to use the
linux dd install option on RH7, and I can get it working. There is no
such image for RH6.2. Does anyone know (for 6.2):
--are there instructions somewhere for building install-time driver disks?
--If I build a kernel with static support for this SCSI, and use it to
retool the boot.img (no trivial thing given the size constraints and the
need to take stuff out of modules.cgz to find room) for the install, how
do I then get this install kernel on the machine after it places it's
packaged kernel on the machine?
There is probably some simple way to do the latter that I just am not
seeing--I broke out of the install script at the end and had some luck
installing my own kernel, but that is arduous. This whole issue of
unsupported boot devices is like a chicken and the egg runaround for me
and I have no good grasp on the best strategy to use.
Thanks for any help or advice you can give on this.
