Description Tom Laermans 2002-06-26 18:29:31 UTC

Hello,

I tried to install Gentoo but failed because my SCSI controller is not 
supported natively by the kernel. SuSE however has support in their self-
patched kernel, and i could just run that, but i'd really like to run gentoo on 
this machine.

"patches" and descriptions for some distributions can be found 
ftp://ftp.tekram.com.tw/Storage/SCSI/PCI/DC-395X/DC-395UW/Driver&AP/Linux/ <- 
here, is there any way you could include the Tekram chipset patch in the gentoo 
kernel distribution, so I could boot from the Gentoo CD and just modprobe the 
tekram module for my Tekram SCSI adapter?

Thanks,
Tom

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
