Woody and aic7xxx SCSI driver problem
I've got an IBM x330 server with an Adaptec AIC-78929 SCSI controller that
I want to install Woody on. When I boot from the install CD, it does not
recognize that the server has any disk drives. I've tried booting from the
"compact" kernel (which is supposed to have the needed aic7xxx.o module)
with no success. I've also tried the "bf24" kernel and the default "idepci"
kernel--unsuccessfully. When I boot the server from a Knoppix CD, it finds
the drives and uses the aic7xxx.o module as a driver.
I think I need to get a boot floppy that has the correct module, put it
into a "boot" directory on the floppy, and point the installer to it at the
proper time. Where can I find the proper module for the install CD? IBM
does not seem to offer anything on thier site.
I really want to get Debian up on this box, as I'm trying to build a case
for moving away from Red Hat. However, this is a major roadblock. Can
anyone help here?
