So is this because the module really won't work with Gentoo 2005.0?
Or does this have something to do with 'depmod'. I'm beginning to
think that what I'm trying to do isn't possible, short of installing
on my IDE drive and then building my own LiveCD with all the required
parts. I can't believe it's supposed to be this hard. I must be
missing the obvious.
The problem loading the module is probably due to the difference in
kernel versions or compilation options. I am not surprised that the
module from 2.6.9 didn't work...
You best bet may be to do an initial installation to the IDE drive,
build a custom kernel there with the Advansys SCSI driver, then transfer
the system to your SCSI disk. That should be faster than making a
custom live CD.
Thanks. I finally got the system installed via a Knoppix CD. Since
Knoppix included the Advansys driver, I was able to install directly to
my SCSI drives as I wished. Ironically, Knoppix did not see my IDE card
attached to the PATA port on my Promise 150 SATA controller. :) But no
matter, once I built Gentoo and used genkernel with slight modification
(i.e. adding the Advansys support), everything is working fine. Now if
I could just get MythTV running! :)
