Smart Array 5312
I'd like to install woody on a machine woth a Compaq Smart Arry 5312
storage controller, but booting with kernel bf24 doesnt recognise the
controller.
I gave a try with redhat advanced server, and that saw it right.
That depressed me quite much:
with debian's bf24: a part of dmesg:
Compaq CISS Driver (v 2.4.5)
HDLC support module revision 1.02 for Linux 2.4
Cronyx Ltd, Synchronous PPP and CISCO HDLC (c) 1994
Linux port (c) 1998 Building Number Three Ltd & Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak.

Highpoint HPT370 Softwareraid driver for linux version 0.01

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
with redhat a part of dmesg:
Compaq CISS Driver (v 2.4.32)

where is my mistake? i mean the kerneldocs says that cciss supports 5312 for ages...
the debian install said 'no harddisks found'
how can i change the CISS driver (see version 2.4.5 vs 2.4.32)?
how can i creat my own bootfloppies? mkrboot need a rootimg, where to get one from?
in bf24 cciss is fix compiled in.
any help is appreciated
