RE: Help! IBM xSeries 360
That would be the Woody 3.0r0 running the 2.2.20 kernel. Sorry, I should
have mentioned that. As it worked out I was able to get the installation to
work using the floppy disks under
/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21 on the
debian-30r0-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso image. I installed the kernel and
drivers from those disks and did not use the default CD-ROM kernel. It may
have worked I just didn't want to try it.
I need to hack a new kernel anyway to pick up the second processor on the
system which may be an equally fun exercise.
Anyway thanks for the input,
Brian

Err, which version of Debian? I've installed Woody onto several x220
and x330's both of which have Adaptec 7892s, e.g.
james@hesiod:~$ lspci | grep Adaptec
01:03.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7892P (rev 02)
james@hesiod:~$
