Re: Poweredge 2400 Raid-5 booting debian
I guys,
My poweredge is running now!
Thanks to Mr Nokubo who pointed out that the aacraid driver works with
the percraid raid controller.
Dell not very clear about which driver to use. With a 2.2.14 kernel you
must use the percraid driver from dell with the come of the 2.2.16 kernel
the aacraid driver is included. (the 2.2.17 kernel does not include the
aacraid driver)
I would like to build boot floppys for these who wants to install a
poweredge raid system using Debian but I need some help with it.
Here are my questions:
1) Whish .config file should I use to build my custom kernel?
2) How do I include the modules for the 2.2.16 kernel?
The .config file I created worked for me but I don't know if there is a
'standard' for it.
Second I had to install the modules for the 2.2.16 kernel by hand. At
this time I couldn't get it installed automaticly.
Also one more thing. The gpm driver was crashing my poweredge completely.
I already filled in a bug report. What happened was when the mouse is
attached to the server at stopped responding completely. Since it is my
productions server now I couldn't experiment with it.
Regards and thanks all for your help so far.
