Hi everybody! I have a problem with a new HP bl35p I try to install. It is a bi-opteron with a dual broadcom card.
First of all, unexpectidely, the tg3 drivers for several 2.6 kernels (we tried the one provided with fai64 and several others, stock or debian) did not recognize the tg3 card. After trying several versions, with and without initrd, we fall back to a 2.4 kernel (2.4.30 stock from kernel.org). This one boots fine and (try to) mount the 64bits nfsroot provided at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/amd64/ I suspect this one to be incompatible with a 2.4 kernel, because we got a "Kernel Panic, attempting to kill init" just after mounting the nfsroot. Before I try to build my own nfsroot, anyone knows what could be missing? I think about devfs support perhaps or something like that. Any answer welcome, François. P.S.: I'm hill and at about 10% of my capacities, that could explain the question... perhaps.
