Re: kernel compilation, ethernet card modules
Hi, Francisco Castillo wrote: I has now instaled a 2.4.18 kernel on my debian woody, i has installed it with lilo running my old kernel 2.2.20 too. My new kernel only has a problem, that is : it seems to not have loaded the module of the ethernet card, so it give me the error " Error while getting eth0 interface no such device " First of all you should know, which ethernet card you have: manufacturer, model, useful is to know the chipset. -> lspci could give you a hint. then you can try to load the driver for your card with modconf. The cards are named there, so perhaps it is easier to find the appropriate module with this tool. Once you know the module and you want to compile a custom kernel, you have to use this module, which works when loading with modconf. Other possibility: you boot with 2.2.20 and do lsmod this shows you the loaded modules, but if you did not compile it as module, it does not show up (if compiled in the kernel) Greetings chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

IDE Hardware RAID-1 at boot time
Hello, i want to install debian to server with two IDE 80GB disks on a Hardware RAID. The Controller is a Promise Fasttrak tx 2000. The two disks are configured as RAID-1 (mirroring) It was not possible to install debian directly to the disk, because the disks where not found. At the point, when you start partitioning, there was the message, that there were no disks. I have the source of the driver. So, I installed an additional ide drive and install debian there. no problem, compiled the kernel with appropriate modules which are mentioned in the README which came with source of the driver, compiled driver, inserted module and then I have access to the RAID System. I partitioned it and prepared it for copying the installed system to the RAID-disks. So, my problem is, who do I get the system booting from the IDE RAID. Or in more general way, what is the way to get such non standard hardware to work at installation time. Something like comiling the driver, which only possible with kernel headers or full sources and then continuing install when hardware is accessible. Is the documentation about that? Christoph
