I'am trying to install the debian on an alpha 2100 (sable), I have problem with the Mylex controller too. First the devices /dev/rd/c0d0 ... cxdx are not created. Second the drivers doesn't like my card ? I've tried Debian 3.0r1 and RedHat 7.2 from official cds... The RedHat 7.2 seem to have the drivers, so I've done my best to build the devices, and then load the module DAC960.o, it gives me: <error msg> DAC960 RAID Driver Version 2.4.11 of 11 October 2001 ... DAC960#0 Unable to map Controller Register Window for Controller at DAC960#0 PCI Bus 0 device 6 Function 0 I/O Address 0x9480 PCI address 0x0 </error msg> The building process of the raid confidg ended up with a positive message, but how can I be sure it is working ? I'm currently trying to crossbuild a 2.4.18 vanilla kernel to see ? If someone has an idea or nice kernel image... thanks, Pierre. PS: By the way if someone as a link or can remind me how I can start my Debian install on the CD from the built kernel...
