Re: Proliant 1000 pains in the butt
Thanx for the response,
A question though......
I would like some pointers/pointing on how to look for a way to determine
the specific controller (the onboard-one and the array (probably is the
kernel smart-2; although the kernel doesn't recognize it on boot)).

Well that worked.......but it's not what I want (wasn't easy either).

I compiled it from scratch (i think it is with a standard setup) but bumped
in the overload on scsi-drivers. Forrest and Trees; looking?
I made a bzImage, copied it to the rescue flop ( that part worked) renaming
it linux.
Boot worked, but it doesn't get to recognize the CD (that's half the way,
then I can "remote-configure" it i.e. get the monitor and keyboard out of
the way)

I don't really get that. Copy and run # configure ?
