Re: installer with kernel 2.6.8 ?
The current d-i daily build uses the 2.6.8(.1) kernel if you boot with linux26. http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/ yes. but : - it doesn't work with my hardware (driver '3w-' give an error before loading '3w-9xxx', and '3w-9xxx' doesn't load at all) - the installed kernel is 2.6.7. So it boots with 2.6.8 but installs 2.6.7, it's not really usefull : it will install the stuff but will not boot after all. how can I build a 2.6.8 ISO image myself, or where can I download it ? I found some informations here : http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerBuild and http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerModify, but it doesn't work. Maybe not enought explanations for dummies. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/doc/custom-kernel.txt I will try. It refers to the links I mentionned above (the not-working howto), I hope it will be more usefull. -- Meilleures salutations / Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Kind regards =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Philippe Froidevaux [EMAIL PROTECTED] Département d'InformatiqueSystems Manager Rue de Faucigny 2tel: +41 (0)26 300 83 42 CH-1700 Fribourg fax: +41 (0)26 300 96 42 http://diuf.unifr.ch/techsupport/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: installer with kernel 2.6.8 ?
Has there been any further info on this? I too have just done a (very cumbersome - install onto IDE, build kernel with 3w-9xxx, transfer install to RAID arrays) install onto a 9000 card and would love to be able to build myself a customised installer for the next time I have to do it. I found some informations here : http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerBuild and http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerModify, but it doesn't work. Maybe not enought explanations for dummies. I agree, I found alot of the things listed here *very* terse and presume you know alot about how d-i works. Whilst I understand it's primarily for devs, the 3ware 9000's are the only RAID cards I have available and without the ability to install straight onto one I'm kinda stuck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

To install it I need the latest kernel, i.e. 2.6.8.1, because it has the 3w-9xxx drivers in it. It didn't work with the daily Sarge installer ISO image (the driver exists but is unusable, as many people reported in this lists).
