No. The onboard NICs will probably not work with bf24 as they are afaik based on the bcm57xx chipset which is supported starting from 2.4.19 - Woody bf24 is 2.4.18. But this is not a real problem... The ATARAID may or may not work - I have no idea which chipset they are currently using. Can anyone shed some light on this? As I'm currently building a website about running Debian on ProLiant this information would be really appreciated... > Will I need to compile my own kernel to do this? You can, but won't have to - at least for the NIC part. Just download the drivers from Broadcom and compile them against 2.4.18-bf24 and load them during setup (preload modules from floppy). Or got to my website, grab the modules I've prepared for Woody: http://people.iirc.at/moswald/linux/bf24_modules/bcm5700/ > Or, should I try to use Sarge? Sarge will probably work out of the box. At least the last time I tried I could install a DL140 without any problems... best regards, Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415 \ System Consulting Fax: +43 316 428896 \ Web Development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
