Re: Dell 1950 and Debian

[Anders Brandt Petersen <anders@wizardry.dk>]

The problem might be the controller - dell delivers rpm's  specific to 
the rhel, this means kernel 2.6.9. So you might have to be able to do 
some compilation during the installer to get it to find your disks or 
have them compiled beforehand using a live image or something - but I 
guess that the compilation needs the actual kernel of the installer to work.
