I've never even seen one of these bad boys, but have you read the Debian installation manual for it?

RE: Help! IBM xSeries 360
That would be the Woody 3.0r0 running the 2.2.20 kernel. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. As it worked out I was able to get the installation to work using the floppy disks under /dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21 on the debian-30r0-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso image. I installed the kernel and drivers from those disks and did not use the default CD-ROM kernel. It may have worked I just didn't want to try it. I need to hack a new kernel anyway to pick up the second processor on the system which may be an equally fun exercise.

Err, which version of Debian? I've installed Woody onto several x220 and x330's both of which have Adaptec 7892s, e.g. james@hesiod:~$ lspci | grep Adaptec 01:03.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7892P (rev 02) james@hesiod:~$ -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
