This seemed to be the last post in this thread and I assumed that
this might have some chance of working but I could not get it to be
so. The woody install CD's don't appear to support jumping out and
being able to compile a kernel (not really surprising).
What you can do however is copy the dpt_i2o.o module from the floppy
(http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ I already had a
copy from prior to the break in) to /lib/....../scsi/ by invoking a
shell. I had several goes at this as it's not exactly obvious where
to do it and once done it breaks the flow of the install process.
Once done you can boot from the 2400a (or presumably whatever card
you have) and compile a kernel in the normal way.
Hopefully this will help others. Bring on Sarge
