I am bootstrapping from a regular SCSI drives.
Those load the drivers fine.
However, the disk space is limited so I use the Fiber controller for
extra disk storage.
This is not working since the mckinley-smp kernel does not come with the
qla2xx drivers like the RedHat Kernel does.

Are you bootstrapping via the Qlogic FC adapter (i.e. boot from SAN),

Hello,
I recently installed Debian Sarge on an IBM x455 using the
Debian-3r5-ia64 netiso.
This comes with the "2.6.8-3-mckinley-smp #1 SMP Wed Dec 6 01:33:21
UTC 2006." kernel.
Since then I upgraded all the packages to Etch aside from the kernel.
With the kernel I am having a little trouble. It appears the newer
mckinley kernel does not work with my x455.
Where can I get the debian source files for this older kernel ?
I downloaded this 2.6.8-16sarge6 package and that will not compile:
sampson:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8# export CC=gcc3.4
sampson:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8# make menuconfig

even after a make clean it happens

Once I get a custom kernel to load, I need to compile in the qla23xx
drivers for my network storage device.
So that will be another question later on.
The newer kernel versions do not appear to boot with this system.
The Debian 4 64-bit iso does not work with the x455.
Additionally, when I upgrade the kernel to the one etch uses, I got a
kernel panic.
