I just had to travel to a server that failed to come up from a reboot after remote upgrade to woody. The problem was kernel-2.4.17's initrd stuff didn't automaticly load the AHA-2940 module... In the 2.2.x series kernel this must have been compiled in, but for the new 2.4.x series it needed an entry in /etc/modules. I ended up manualy running modconf to add it in, then dpkg-reconfigure'd the kernel to make sure the initrd had it in. Another option that _might_ have worked is installing discover... Just something else to be wary of :-( -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
