Re: Debian ia64 install debootstrap problems
I have a SCSI drive attached to one of the hotplug bays in the front. It
uses the cpqarray driver to communicate. The drive is mountable. I am
also using the 2.6 SMP kernel (supplied with the installer cd). I am
going to try to reinstall again, but before I do so, could you specify
what you meant by a barebones install? My installer runs into problems
even before I get ELILO installed.
