The reason I am trying to change the kernel is because the kernel used in 6.2-1 has cpqarray as a module and not compiled into the kernel. According to http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/proliant/ it must be compiled into the kernel and not as a module. I am getting the errors described on that page which means that I cannot access the hard disks on my Compaq DL360 G2.

That's a workaround, not a solution (and in fact it won't help reliably). The real problem is that the sym53c8xx driver wrongly claims support for your device. The real fix is available at:

Many thanks for your replies. Is there any sort of cheat code or other workaround I can use with 6.2-2? For various reasons I was really hoping to get the server built today! In the meantime I will attempt to remaster...

I have successfully managed a remaster - I just recompiled the kernel without the sym53c8xx driver and then reproduced the iso. I do however look forward to the new release!

Andy
