Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85e Hi,
The other day I tried to boot a Sun Fire 280R that works nicely with kernel 2.4.30; however, it didn't work, because the qla2xxx driver can't find the firmware image, and it fails to load properly, meaning I can't access the hard disks in the machine, and... flop. :) I worked around this by including the proprietary file downloaded from the URL provided in kernel config help, ql2200_fw.bin, using a hook file. It was necessary to load qla2xxx *after* init-premount, because it needs udev to load in order to access firmware helper. But, for udev to actually use the firmware helper, it sounds like this is also needed: copy_exec /lib/udev/firmware.agent /lib/udev/ After that, the hook file that installs into /lib/firmware also needed: mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/lib/firmware Those two problems are more general; another cp/copy_exec for the actual file is probably a matter for another package, with license issues sorting and all that.

That which causes joy or happiness. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
