Hi Horms,Some more background... The machines I'm trying to install the 2.6.8-2-686-smp Debian kernel package are Dell PowerEdge 1850 with a PERC 4e/Si RAID Controller model with one Hitachi 73,2GB SCSI Ultra320 HotSwap HD factory configured in RAID0.
I have almost the same configuration on the same machine, except 2 36Gb drives in RIAD1, Dell 1850 same as you. I had also tried adding scsi_mod and megariad, in both orders to the initrd/modules, and only got kernel panics for my trouble. I ahd begun the "building a custom kernel" process, but its about on the limit of my debian-fu, so I'll run with 2.4.27-smp for now. I will continue with my attempts to get 2.6 to work, as I need a 2.6 kernel for later this month on a project.
