Hi, I'm installing debian on a server with dual xeon processors and a Promise FastTrak 2000TX IDE RAID controller. Promise doesn't offer the details about the board, thus they offer pre-compiled (closed source) RedHat drivers for their cards. So I downloaded it, extracted it, and put the module (FastTrak.o) on a disk within the /boot-directory and managed to use the debian installer and everything worked.
Now, the bf2.4 kernel doesn't support SMP, and also I have to compile drivers for my intel gigabit ethernet NIC, but where do I go from here? I installed initrd-tools, compiled the kernel sources with support for initrd and cramfs and added "FastTrak" to /etc/mkinitrd/modules. Now I created the ramdisk with; % mkinitrd -o xxx /lib/modules/2.4-my-custom-version If I reboot with this kernel and initrd it says it doesn't find "FastTrak" (I have verified it to be available on the ramdisk in /lib/modules/2.4-my-custom-version/kernel/drivers/scsi/) I've also tried to mount the initrd.debinstall file, but it isn't cramfs... Now my question is how can I create a ramdisk like the one created during install? -janvidar- -- Best regards Jan Vidar Krey Sofware developer / Unix admin Open Human Digital AS (OHD) Web: http://www.ohd.no/ Phone: (+47) 22 96 35 70 Mobile: (+47) 98 60 73 28 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
