intel scsi controller srczcr
> > Pretty new to linux here, so bear with me.
Ok. I have to get debian on this machine with this raid controller - no
other drives in the box. It will be the first linux box for this company
and I've been the linux evangelist here... and I'm needing help.
I've pretty much given up on getting drivers/modules for this controller for
current kernels, but if anyone has any, that would be great.
This email is instead to pursue the other line of action: using the disks
provided by intel to get a base system up and running and then upgrade the
kernel from there.
That still has problems.
The intel controller comes with a cd that makes a set of install floppies:
rescue, root and driver modules for the controller. They are at kernel
2.2.19-compact.
I boot with the rescue disk, partition the drive, install root, swap and
lilo on a boot partition.
The problem comes with installing a base system from that.
I've tried to find the base system for that kernel online - but
archive.debian.org is down and I'm not finding others.
I did find an iso of potato that I burned to CD but it was the wrong kernel
apparently - 2.2.26
I also tried to apt upgrade with a sources.list I created, but apt isn't
installed yet.
Any help getting a base system on that? Or how to upgrade with the little
bit that is loaded?
