Ehlo all,
Finally, finally... It's over 8))))))))))))))))))
The installation rolls.
In fact, we created more problems than necessary 8)
*All* there was to do (once you know it) to install ML 8.1 or cooker on this
fu**ing Compaq server :
Compile a kernel with cpqarray and PS2 mouse support included (not as
modules)
Create a disk from the network.img
Replace vmlinuz by the new kernel
At the first screen press F1
Pass a few parameters to the kernel (God knows we tried many params) :
linux expert noauto (we never thought about the noauto option)
And its over. Everything else turns OK.
No need to recompile or change the mdkinst_stage2 thing.
Now we'll be able to update all our Compaq servers to replace the 8.0 cooker.
Anyway, thanks to those who helped.
Sven
