Installing Debian with DTP Raid 5 controler ?



Newbie to debian, but not to linux,
I want (in order to be "full" GPL) to install debian on a server.

The SCSI RAID controler I use (DPT, module dpt_io.o) is not recognized.
how can I do a custom set of resuce/boot/disk in order to install debian
on my system.

All is working fine with RedHat and 2.2.16 kernel (DPT sent me the
kernel patch to add the SCSI controler drivers). I hae the source for
the driver, but I don't succeed to do a good rescue/boot pair of disk to
make it work with debian.

My system is working fine with RedHat. I want to replace red hat by
debian

Step by step I did the following :

1) copy the working kernel image on the rescue disk (compact flavor)
2) make a modules.tgz from /lib/modules/2.2.16, coyp it to the rescue
disk
3)on the rescue disk : rdev.sh
4)reboot on the rescue disk, type enter at the prompt, inserting the
boot disk when asked

my scsi controler is not found and I can't follow the install process.

moreover my ethernet card is not seen neither (via-rhine.o module, a
D-Link 100 Mhz etehrnet card - works like a charm with red hat install)

If someone could help me to find a correct way to install debian on my
system, I'll be very pleased :)
