Do I have to upgrade/patch the kernel? ...) You must ensure that the driver "cpqarray" is loaded and that the devices nodes under /dev/ida/ present. E.g.: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 0 Jul 5 2000 c0d0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 1 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 10 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 11 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 12 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 13 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 14 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 15 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 2 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 3 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 4 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 5 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 6 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 7 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p7 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 8 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p8 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 72, 9 Jul 5 2000 c0d0p9 ... AFAIK this is not the case with that kernel. Unfortunately I have no personal experience running Debian on Compaq servers. HTH. CU, Klaus
