I'm interested in trying out debian. However, I have an Adaptec 2840/2842VL scsi controller (for my Conner 1080s hard drive and my cdrom), and I notice that it is not listed as a supported controller at www.debian.org. Is this correct?
I currently use slackware 2.2 (linux kernel 1.2.1), which includes an alpha driver for my controller. Is this not included with debian because it is alpha (this would be understandable, since debian is striving to be a stable distribution)? What work-around would people recommend? Can I configure and compile a kernel for my machine, and then copy this to the debian boot/installation disk? What sort switches would I need to pass to "rdev" to make such a kernel work? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Danny Heap, UCSF, 3333 California St., Room 102, SF CA, 94122 [EMAIL PROTECTED], voice: (415) 476-8910, fax: (415) 476-1508 --------------------------------------------------------------------
