I'm still having the same trouble with the latest (02.Dec) installer
with an AIC-7901 SCSI controller. The following changelog entry is from
the latest kernel-source-2.6.8 update (-10):
* Fix missing backport of ssleep declaration so that new aic7xxx works.
Thanks Matt Taggart for pointing out the problem. (Joshua Kwan)
I wonder if this is still causing the problem. Any ideas?
On a related note, I've been trying to use the linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6
and debian-installer source packages to make a 2.6.9 kernel image to use
with d-i with no success. Using either the images in sid or ones I
compile myself, the kernel is unable to load the root filesystem and panics.
How can I find out what version of kernel-source-2.6.8 is used to
generate the d-i kernels? How can see the .config used?
Thanks,
Jan Medlock
