Hi,
I want to pass a Sun Blade 2500 (silver) on linux,
I boot with tftp (it's works ...)
but, when the installer check the disks; no way.
The driver for scsi is missing, mtpscsih from fusion.
What can i do ?
Thanks for advance and excuse my english, i'm french ...
The same is for IntelBlade ;)
Solution:
Take iso sarge e.g netinst ~ 120MB
Mount it on the loop
# mkdir -p loopdir
# mount -o loop your-image.iso loopdir (you need to load loop module:
#modprobe loop)
# rm -rf cd
# mkdir cd
# rsync -a -H --exclude=TRANS.TBL loopdir/ cd
# umount loopdir
Unpack install/2.6/initrd.gz to some other directory and mount initrd on
the loop:
mount -o loop initrd init.
Next open kernel 2.6.x deb and copy all from drivers/message/fusion/mpt*
to appropriate location on initrd. Next add all mpt modules to modules.dep:
/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.ko:
/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.ko
..................
Unmount and compress initrd:
umount initrd
gzip initrd
Put inirt.gz back to install/2.6/
Create new image
# mkisofs -o test.iso -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat ./cd
Burn it.
That's all
All is taken from debian installer wiki.
BR,
