This is a bit of a problem, HP/Compaq assume you are using a redhat kernel (which is a base linus kernel with a whole lot of -ac and other patches). The cciss driver used in the 2.4.18-bf24 kernel uses an old (buggy) cciss driver. Wait for the 2.4.21 kernel (currently in -rc2 state) to become available for Debian. in this source tree the cciss (and other hp/compaq) drivers are bumped to the current (same as on the hp/compaq site) version. -- JJ van Gorkum Knowledge Zone If UNIX isn't the solution, you've got the wrong problem.
