I grab the today build but like the yesterday, it doesn't detect my scsi card. I open a shell, type modprobe sd_mod, retry detect hardware and it complains about missing modules like ncr symbios logix, ide and usb stuff :/ I use the http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/2004-09-03/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd Here is a cat /proc/pci extract: Bus 0, device 16, function 0: SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c825 (rev 19). IRQ 23. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=17.Max Lat=64. I/O at 0x1400 [0x14ff]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfeeae000 [0xfeeae0ff].
