Hi Admins
SYS: AMD Opteron, LSI Logic MegaRaid 320-1SCSI.
OS: Slackware 9.1 kernel v2.4.22
My new hardware has arrived but I am a bit stuck. None of the kernels
seem to support my SCSI card. I thought the way forward would be to
compile a new v2.6.9 kernel on a different system. 2.6 kernels have
native support for the LSI MegaRaid. Boot the new system from the OS
CD and at the boot prompt specify the 2.6.9 kernel which I have
hopefully made small enough to fit onto a floppy. Questions:
1) How to I get the boot prompt to use a kernel on a floppy?
2) Does this sound viable?
3) Are there any gotchas with this?
Thanx.
Dp.
