Hi,
I am going to be rebuilding my colo server next week using the latest
Etch netinst. The box has an Adaptec RAID card that has been using the
dpt_i2o driver rather than i2o_block. I built this back in 2005, rolling
my own kernel and going through quite a contorted process to get AMD64
installed using dpt_i2o.
This time around I am hoping to install plain vanilla 32-bit Debian, and
I am wondering how I can install using dpt_i2o rather than i2o_block as
the RAID driver. I know about using modprobe, but I don't have
experience of how to tell Linux to use one driver rather than another on
a continuing basis.
So if Etch installs by default using i2o_block, how would I tell it to
use dpt_i2o instead? Can I do this during the install, after which it
will then use dpt_i2o automatically, or do I have to install first using
i2o_block and then somehow convert down the line? If the latter, then
how do I change the config to use the other driver?
The two drivers are apparently incompatible - you can have either one or
the other installed, but not both.
Any clues much appreciated.
Thanks!
/Neil
