Re: [Trinux-talk] Re: RE:Kernel for Adaptec

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Still catching up on this thread :(

First things first. I would create an adaptec boot floppy

I would use a more recent boot image from

http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/boot/17nov-2413

Replace the bzimage on the disk with the one from

http://trinux.sourceforge.net/kernel/2.4.5/adaptec/

Then boot with the floppy and do a

# dmesg

make sure the Adaptec driver has been detected

See if the devices sda1 sdb (or whatever) are detected

My guess is they will not be because of the RAID.  Do you know which
kernel driver is required?

- mdf
