The depca driver is in the nic-extra-modules udeb and the aha1740 is in the scsi-modules udeb, so both of these are available to the installer. Can you check the installer logs to see what happens when the kernel tries to load these drivers? > Just waiting the compile to finish.

I wish you luck with this build, but that won't be a fix that can be applied to the Debian package; we need to have this working with the stock Debian kernel image, built with ALPHA_GENERIC set. It's possible that the kernel's Documentation/eisa.txt provides some guidance here: ** Kernel parameters : [...] virtual_root.force_probe : Force the probing code to probe EISA slots even when it cannot find an EISA compliant mainboard (nothing appears on slot 0). Defaultd to 0 (don't force), and set to 1 (force probing) when either CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN or CONFIG_EISA_VLB_PRIMING are set. Perhaps you could try passing virtual_root.force_probe=1 as a kernel option when booting the installer, to see if that fixes the problem for you? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
