I'm halfway to have an iso install CD with a hybrid 2.6.32/36
kernel .deb (stock squeeze kernel + backport of megaraid_sas from
experimental).
I hope I can get it right to improve the chances that this module
will enter into the next squeeze kernel.
I'd like to make everything halal (let aptitude know where is the
new kernel package at installation time, tweak initrd so it find the
firmware and the module I need...) but maybe I'll just put
everything somewhere on the ISO and do it manually.
I hope Debian developers have a plan B if I fail.
thanks
