Re: E3500 install problems
Just use the netboot installer. Settign up a tftpd + dhcp is done in a few minutes if you don't have them around allready. I just tried that, but the netboot image also seems to lack the SOCAL+ driver. I've actually built my own kernel and netbooted it too, but I'm having trouble getting all the options in the right place. Hoping to avoid creating a complete setup to build debian-style install images; any other thoughts? It's entirely possible I've contracted a case of stoopid. that's my impression, too - but I don't see it as a big problem. I wouldn't want to install such a machine while standing right next to it because I have to mess with a cdrom drive. Good point. Not wanting to stand next to it is the reason I'm using the serial port, instead of hooking it up to the kvm. De -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

(Without really looking into the udebs:) The socal module should be included in the installer. But according to the help to the module in the kernel config you'll probably need the microcode from the Solaris driver to make it work. YOu probably want to open a shell and try to modprobe -r scocal and modprobe socal again, have a look if you see any error messages, also check the output of dmesg.

So the kernel config help about the driver may not be entirely correct. Bernd, thanks for the suggestions. De -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: E3500 install problems
Hi, ~ # modprobe socal FATAL: Module socal not found. Modprobe can't find it to load it. Nothing in dmesg. Nothing in /lib/modules *soc*. It's just not included in the lenny installers. Which seems silly. Which is why I'm being a pita. :) here comes my workaround for such situations: - download the normal kernel package - make sure it's the same version than the one used in the installer, extract or install it somewhere - boot the installer in expert mode - configure your network - load the ssh-client installer component, probably also the network installer, so you can continue to isntall using ssh - get a shell - clean the modules: cd /lib/modules; rm -rf `uname -r` - use scp to copy the /lib/modules/`uname -r` directory from your extracted kernel into the installer's /lib/modules dir. - load the module - continue with the installation Hope that works, Bernd -- Bernd Zeimetz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzed.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
