Debian installer with Backport(ed) kernel
Hi,
Having just got some new machines and wanting to install debian stable
I was met with the problem of stables kernel not supporting my raid card
(MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3516) however I spotted that testings kernel
supported it and the kernel had been backported.
I looked around and found
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/backports/README but
unfortunately they aren't updated anymore :(
So I decided to try and build my own debian install CD that booted and
installed the kernel from backports, documentation on all of this is
certainly lacking but I have succeeded!
I've uploaded my monstrosity to
http://mirror.sucs.org/pub/imran/debian-9.3-amd64-CD-1+bpokernel.iso
The source for making it is at
https://github.com/imranh2/debian-cd-bpokernel
If anyone has any feedback on it I'd love to hear it!
Thanks,
Imran
