I download the last daily build of the cdrom (release debian-testing-ia64-netinstall.iso 20060815). But missing the driver megaraid legacy and qla2300 on the cdrom could you help me by building a new daily build iso with these 2 modules or minimum with the megaraid_legacy ? I'd first check if the modules you need are already included in the regular kernel image package (linux-image-2.6.16-2-itanium-smp). If they are, just copy them over to the installer somehow and run 'depmod -a; update-dev'. Hmm. Does not look like megaraid_legacy is though: Maybe this is the lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mm.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko For ql* I can only find: lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla1280.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qlogicfas408.ko lib/modules/2.6.16-2-itanium-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qlogicfc.ko If I can boot and install the debian on the megaraid disks I can build my own kernel with the qla23xx. This info obtained from: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=linux-image-2.6.16-2-itanium-smp&version=unstable&arch=ia64&page=1&number=all But I have a mckinley (itanium2) and not itanium. In that case you will have to build your own kernel and create a custom installer. This page should help you get started: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/doc/custom-kernel.txt (Or, probably simpler, only build the custom kernel and just copy the missing modules over to the installer as explained above.) Please file a bug against linux-2.6 to request these modules to be added in the default Debian kernel image packages for IA64. Cheers, FJP Thanks Frans, for your fast respons Guy
