as i know 3ware adapters are supported by the linux kernel... i don't know the kernel config of a livecd, and also i don't know if kernel modules are available on a livecd... but what you could do is to compile the same kernel the livecd uses somewhere else (or in a chrooted environment) and change the kernel configs to compile 3ware support in a module and try to 'modprobe' this module in the booted livecd system to get the 3ware-support... martin Zitat von Matt McKenzie- eRacks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello group- > > I am trying to install Gentoo 1.4 from the x86 LiveCD. > I have a Pentium 4 2.66ghz system, 1GB RAM, with a 3ware Escalade > 7500-4port IDE RAID card. > Is there any way to get the 3w-xxx driver on here? > I would prefer to not have to install gentoo in a chroot on another > system, and tftpboot, or anything like that, if at all possible. > > I have searched the forums, but all I can find are references to things > such as "3ware cards are well supported in Linux" etc. > But how do you install Gentoo with a 3ware card if there is no driver > included? > The 1.4 LiveCD uses a weird kernel-2.4.21-gss, (which I can't find in > the distfiles btw, except for patch-2.4.21-pre8-gss) so how do I compile > the module to work with the installer?
