Apologies for not getting back earlier. I've downloaded the Oct 3
Debian testing PPC, and I'm still having the same problem. lsmod does
not show the amd74xx driver loaded. modprobe doesn't work either; the
driver is not in /lib/modules.
I appreciate the help you guys are offering. We've been stuck using
SuSE on these blades for two years. I'm *greatly* looking forward to
the day I can use a good OS on them. :-)
