Thank you for your help. You were right about the fact that there are currently two different sets of preload modules for the 2.4.20 boot floppies available from http://people.debian.org/~blade/ # md5sum 2.4.20-modules.bin d7609445a1c57e158e389c07438e8d23 2.4.20-modules.bin # md5sum preload-2.4.20.bin 09046d577f96f51721aaf67d17ad2e87 preload-2.4.20.bin Both worked (modules loaded) but I could not go with either of these. I finally reinstalled RH and did a woody chroot install from there since it was easier to test various things this way. A posteriori, I wonder whether the trouble was not simply that I should have added the sd_mod module in the "add kernel modules" section: mptscsih and mptbase depend only on scsi_mod, whereas sd_mod was obviously needed in my case to boot from SCSI disks! I ended up recompiling my own 2.4.20-3woody.1 kernel-source with CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_FUSION=y CONFIG_FUSION_BOOT=y and now it works. -- olivier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
