Of course there is always a solution with debian ;-) You need a more recent version of the megaraid driver (see http://www.domsch.com/linux/) I made one for bf24 for a customer unfortunatly, I forget to save it .... So you have to build one yourself and put it on a floppy then use "preload essential modules from floppy" in the debian installer. You also use a custom bf24 boot floppy like this one: http://www.domsch.com/linux/debian/sprouse1.txt (probably easier than making it yourself ;-)) Good luck. -- Emmanuel Lacour ------------------------------------ Easter-eggs 44-46 rue de l'Ouest - 75014 Paris - France - Métro Gaité Phone: +33 (0) 1 43 35 00 37 - Fax: +33 (0) 1 41 35 00 76 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.easter-eggs.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
