There are no CD images from Mar-10. There are some from Mar-11. A
testing image for XFS-Installation which really do not support CCISS
without modules, and a pure CVS build in boot-floppies/cd-iso which
should work for you.

The dates I was referring to was the data-time stamp listed in the directory listing of the dir on people.debian.org/~blade/...

??

CD contents are from the same build.

When booting from the floppies, I did not have cciss devices listed in the /proc/partitions file however I did have /dev/cciss/c0d0* files. When booting from the .iso image, I had cciss devices in the /proc/partitions file and did NOT have a /dev/cciss dir...

Once I made the /dev/cciss/c0d0* files by hand, I was able to cfdisk so the kernel in the .iso has the cciss driver built in.

This is why I think that the boot floppies have an older rescue.bin "kernel image missing the cciss driver" and the cd seems to have an older root.bin "missing /dev/cciss and dbootstrap not knowing about cciss devices".

If I am getting these files from the wrong place then let me know the propper place and I will re-test.

I got the floppies from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/bf2.4/
and the cd image from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/cd-iso/

Thanks,
Loren
