Hey Steven, I'm talking about Debian Stable, if that makes a difference. The particular disc that I want to standardise on includes the 2.4.18bf24 kernel, and apparently the onboard ethernet is not supported by this kernel. Also, if we're using the 64x SmartArray controller, this is also not supported by the default kernel. I don't believe these options showed up until 2.4.21 or so. This means that I'd have to install to a SCSI drive off of the onboard SCSI first, and then cp the data to the SmartArray after I've upgraded the kernel, and then modify LILO and /etc/fstab to point to the new devices. I've never liked Debian Testing for regular use, and Sid is great on my home desktop and laptop, but even on my own home server I run Woody. -- Dana _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
