Re: [Adam Shand <larry@spack.org>] Re: Boot disk doesn't recognize Compaq DL360's RAID controller

just to follow up on this.  i have an older potato cd (dated 04Apr2000)
the compact version (disk 2) of this boots just fine on my compaq dl360.

the newer version which errors on my compaq dl360 boots on my laptop just
fine (thinkpad t20).  so i can only assume that either their is some sort
of dependacy issue.

if i can help debug this please let me know.

okay the boot disks work fine but the cd will not.  i've talked to two
other people who've reported similar problems (the floppies work but the
cd doesn't).

is it posssible there is a bug in the cd?  i got another older potato cd
from home last night and i'll try that in a bit.
