Did you use the default kernel-config file (you can find it in boot/config-2.6.8-xxxxx after installing a 2.6.8 image)? If not, just
You gave me the idea to try it first with a precompiled default kernel. I took the stock binary kernel-image-2.6.8-1-smp (kernel-image-2.6.8-1-smp_2.6.8-6_alpha.deb). As I was installing, the following error occured: Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-1-smp (2.6.8-6) ... /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed FATAL: Module sym53c8xx_2 not found.
So I checked: # find /lib/modules -name sym53c8xx* /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx.o /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2 /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx_2.o /lib/modules/2.6.8-rawhide-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2 /lib/modules/2.6.8-rawhide-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-1-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2 /lib/modules/2.6.8-1-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.ko ...or is this the wrong place to look?
Then I changed /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf to: # MODULES=dep <- old setting MODULES=most <- new setting ...and commented out sym53c8xx_2 in /etc/mkinitrd/modules and retried with the same error.
I reread your post and tried:
* Before install: open /usr/sbin/mkinitrd in text editor and replace the module in the line containing "qlogicisp" by "qla1280".
So I changed Line 588 to: s/^isp1020$/qla1280/; t and retried with the same error as the result.
I set up a almost identical machine with the sarge rc2 installer to a 2.4.27 kernel. When I want to install 2.6.8-1-smp-6, I see the same error.
Since my boot drive is unchangeably on a ncr53c810 controller, I can't boot. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
