Description Mark Carbonaro 2004-07-19 17:25:43 UTC
I'm trying to install Gentoo using gentoo-alpha-2004.0-20040313.iso on an AlphaServer 1200.  This machine has a Mylex DAC960P RAID controller but there is no kernel module that I can modprobe.  Is it possible to have this module added to future LiveCD's?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Live CD on an Alpha with a DAC960 Raid controller
2. modprobe dac960

Actual Results:  
modprobe: Can't locate module dac960

Expected Results:  
Module to be installed and device available

Here is a dump of /proc/pci if it helps.

Hi Mark.

We just released a new experimental livecd yesterday which includes dac960 support - please test gentoo-alpha-2004.2-20040730.iso and reopen the bug if it still doesn't work.
