Hi Jason

Are you having problems with the official driver disks? like with:
http://http.trustix.org/pub/trustix/releases/trustix-2.2/i586/images/drvblock.img

If so it should be reported as a bug in the installer for TSL-2.2.

If the problem only occurs with customized driver disks, there must be a
problem with the customization or creation of the disk.

I'm almost ashamed to say this but as far as I remember every success
story about driver disks on Trustix have been something like this:

1: grab the latest driver disk from http.trustix.org
2: grab the latest kernel source rpm (must correspond to the one on the CD)
3: get the -BOOT config file from ./configs in the source tree and place
   it as ./.config
4: insert the new driver code into the tree to replace the old driver
   code.
5: make oldconfig dep modules (remember stack protection issues)
6: loopback mount the driver disk
7: unzip modules.cz
8: replace the driver with the one you just compiled
9: wrap the driver disk back up.

The reason I feel ashamed is that we really really really should have
made a mkbootdisk script that at least handles points [1,6-9], so that
people could do this more easily. I actually looked into it once, and
the task is very much something that can be done with moderate
programmin skills (preferably in bash or python, anyone? ;) )

Anyway, the procedure I just described should get you going.


kind regards


c
