Is this an scsi controller? We compiled in scsi-support for
adaptec/symbios/ncr controllers. All other
controllers are avaliable as modules.
So typing modprob [HPT366 controler module] should work.
After you have configured everything as described in the install-guide, copy
the linux-sources-2.4.1-_pre8.tbz2 to your root disk. Chroot to that
partition, install the kernel package ( ">pkgmerge
linux-sources-2.4.1_pre8.tbz2"),
cd to /usr/src/linux , build and install your kernel. Leave the chrooted
environment and configure the bootmanager.
