OK,
I did some research into the Debian issue. Of course, since Debian
doesn't update it's distro as often it's basically old the day it's
released. For the guys who lay back on system upgrades, that's a
wonderful thing.
Enter FGM's new SuperMicro server (specifically the Adaptec 4000SAS
controller!
Basically Debian's Stable distro couldn't see the controller, neither
could DSL. Mandriva 2006? could!
So, I looked around and found out the following.
Debian's 2.6.8 kernel - NO
Debian's 2.6.11* Kernel - YES
2.6.11 is available in the base install cd on the 'testing' disto. So,
tonight I will download that cd and give it a try here somewhere when I
get a second just to make sure it works (I've had problems with a
'testing' install cd in the past) If that works, then I suppose another
try on the SuperMicro server will be in order Tuesday.
BTW, what are we going to name the fire breathing - earth shattering
beast of a server we own now? <grin>
Anyhow, will the the LTSP Setup tonight (Makayla willing) and see how
that goes. I'm also hoping to get the base install of Vector Linux done
on the 'little box' tonight too.
