Unfortunately, we have a few custom packages that are compiled 32-bit only (nothing too bad, just a recompile away) - but I think your problem is with missing drivers in F7.

No idea bout AHCI or fakeraid - sorry Now - one point I'd like to understand better - when you say "for uruguay" you don't mean the Ceibal team, right? (From OLPC perspective, if you talk about schoolservers in Uruguay, the Ceibal team is what I think of...). You are doing this for the Edublog Uruguay team... yes? cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
