<sorry> that some of you have seen this before (on debian-user), but I guess this is the correct list for this type of questions. </sorry>
Hi there, Anyone have a successful "IDE-RAID-only" installation on a SuperTrak SX6000 disk system? I have drivers for RedHat 7.1 (installs & works fine) and found GPL source for building drivers, but I am having problems with module dependencies for the GPL code and Debian (2.2.r4 installation). The main problem is that I am unable to load drivers for the disks so I have nowhere to install Debian :) Do I : 1) make a driver floppy with /boot/pti_st.o ? - when I try to use insmod on the object file I have built (quite many now...) I get a list of unresolved symbols: kmalloc, scsi_unregister_module, scsi_register, unregister_blkdev, pcibios_present, free_irq, register_blkdev, iounmap, __ioremap, pci_read_config_word, io_request_lock, kfree, pci_devices, request_irq, scsi_register_module, pci_write_config_word, sprintf, printk, scsi_unregister - am I missing any modules that should have been added here? (have tried to add scsi_mod.o, but I am having problems finding the kernel source used for the installation kernel. I use kernel-source-2.2.19 found in the distribution) - parameters for compiling pti_st.o (SMP computer) have been taken from the supplied GPL'ed Makefile 2) make a bootable floppy with a 2.4.17(?) kernel? How do I get this to be the "default kernel" in a Debian installation? Any pointers to this kind of information is also appreciated. Or anyplace I might obtain information on how to make my own bootable debian-installation (using the existing one as a base) on fd,cd,dvd? 3) boot drivers that need to be loaded at boot-time? Do I use mkinitrd (is this available and supported in potato, or woody, installation ?) Or any pointers to information on how this is done? 4) Install REdHat 7.1 base and overwrite this with Debian? Is this possible (and recommended)? Gives me an opportunity to try new kernels, but I am not to deep into RedHat and really would like to continue to use Debian... 5) something completely different (?) Anybody know of some newer/modified source code for the SX6000 somewhere? Maybe with a HOWTO or README file added? If someone have useful information, please reply with a cc directly to me.
