mdadm is not installed.
My adaptec raid card provides hardware raid, so I don't think I need
mdadm. I certainly did not need it when I was running Sarge/2.6.8,
so I presume that shouldn't need it for Etch/2.6.18.
My mistake. Were you using an in-tree driver for your adaptec card or a
third-party driver? Did you check to see if the name of the kernel
module changed in the 2.6.8 -> 2.6.18 transition?
It looks like the modules that I have specified are all loaded, so I
guess that means that the names haven't changed.
I was wondering if using the generic i2o_* modules instead of the
adaptec dpt_i20 module may fix things?
I sort of doubt it. Maybe it's a compiler issue with new gcc-4.1 code
generation ???
My /etc/modules file is:
ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic
psmouse
sd_mod
aic7xxx
# NOTE: The i2o drivers have some bugs in them which conflict with the

# NOTE: This is apparently fixed in 2.6.15 in late December, therefore
