Subject: new install  - SCSI support problem
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 12:01:39 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4236CEA3.2926.13761AA1@localhost> (raw)

Hi Admins

	SYS: AMD Opteron, LSI Logic MegaRaid 320-1SCSI. 
	OS: Slackware 9.1 kernel v2.4.22

My new hardware has arrived but I am a bit stuck. None of the kernels 
seem to support my SCSI card. I thought the way forward would be to 
compile a new v2.6.9 kernel on a different system. 2.6 kernels have 
native support for the LSI MegaRaid. Boot the new system from the OS 
CD and at the boot prompt specify the 2.6.9 kernel which I have 
hopefully made small enough to fit onto a floppy. Questions:

1) How to I get the boot prompt to use a kernel on a floppy?

2) Does this sound viable?

3) Are there any gotchas with this?

Thanx.
Dp.
