Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85e Hi, The other day I tried to boot a Sun Fire 280R that works nicely with kernel 2.4.30; however, it didn't work, because the qla2xxx driver can't find the firmware image, and it fails to load properly, meaning I can't access the hard disks in the machine, and... flop. :) I worked around this by including the proprietary file downloaded from the URL provided in kernel config help, ql2200_fw.bin, using a hook file. It was necessary to load qla2xxx *after* init-premount, because it needs udev to load in order to access firmware helper. But, for udev to actually use the firmware helper, it sounds like this is also needed: copy_exec /lib/udev/firmware.agent /lib/udev/ After that, the hook file that installs into /lib/firmware also needed: mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/lib/firmware Those two problems are more general; another cp/copy_exec for the actual file is probably a matter for another package, with license issues sorting and all that. Cf. http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2007/01/msg00074.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2007/02/msg00002.html -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

Hi, Thanks for your report. Closing as it's an installation report from Etch which isn't supported anymore. Feel free to test and report any issues against the current debian installer release (Squeeze RC1) which supports more hardware and also it's improved. Thanks! http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_rc1/ -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo http://www.DebianPT.org
