trying to install but can't recognize the disk.... woody,

[Walter Tautz <wtautz@math.uwaterloo.ca>]

tried compact, bf24... this is a scsi system....

A snippet from dmesg:

mptbase: Initiating ioc0 bringup
ioc0: 53C1030: Capabilities={Initiator}
mptbase: 1 MPT adapter found, 1 installed.

running lsmod (see below) suggests that need the 
modules... mptscsih and mptbase

so it would seem that I'll have to do:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html#s-rescue-replace-kernel

or perhaps someone has a convenient boot floppy that has these drivers already?

Thanks...



and the e1000 driver is the likely eithernet driver....
