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".

But this is not a real problem... I posted this on debian-user, but for the record and for conversation, you can use the 'tg3' driver from bf24. Apparently the Broadcom drivers are preferred. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Arcserve/Brightstor
Hi all, Just a quick question and yes I already have searched the archives:) Has anybody managed to successfully port the Linux version (rpm's) of arcserve to debian using alien or other means? I've tried to, but it wasnt very much of a success story. If it isnt doable, what would be second best to use? I dont want to use tar or other nongraphical software as I'm not the only one who has to perform the backup.

Re: LILO & Software RAID1 boot= & raid-boot-extra
I have directions on grub and lilo config for software raid systems. Switching to software raid from non-raid and setting lilo.conf and grub.conf correctly.

This might help: http://rootraiddoc.alioth.debian.org Hi Lucas, Thanks for that, after reading through your doco I found my error. The entry listed in the linux magazine doument is raid-boot-extra. The correct paramter is raid-extra-boot. All working now. Thanks, Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
