The latest kernel from backports is 2.6.30. You should do http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions I think it's not necessary anyway. Apt-get install firmware-bnx2 should do the trick with debian kernel. Did you run update-initrams and updated bootloader? I think the firmaware is missing in your initrd. -- Pavel Mateja _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
