This procedure installs the aacraid driver while installing Debian
Server 6.0 32bit

1. Copy "aacraid.ko-PRE_MOD" and "aacraid.ko-POST_MOD" to a floppy
disk or USB flash.

2. Start installing Debian 6.0 Linux by booting from the installation
DVD and select "Graphical Install" option,
   Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to console2 while Debian detects the network.

3. Insert your USB key or floopy disk

4. fdisk -l   (scan for device, assume if USB drive is assigned to /dev/sda1)

5. Type the following commands:
	# mkdir /mnt2  /AACRAID
	# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt2
	# cp -R /mnt2/* /AACRAID
	# umount /mnt2

6. *** Please remove the USB flash before the insmod command ***

7. # cp -f /AACRAID/aacraid.ko-PRE_MOD
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-486/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko
   # insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-486/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko

8. Press CTRL+ALT+F5 to return to installer. Continue the installation as usual.

9. Do not reboot after the installation is complete. Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to
   switch to console 2 again.

10. Type the following commands:
	# cp -f /AACRAID/aacraid.ko-POST_MOD
/target/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko
	# chroot /target
	# /sbin/depmod  -a  2.6.32-5-amd64
	# update-initramfs -u -v
	# exit

11. Press CTRL+ALT+F5 to return to the installer. Reboot to complete
the installation.
