i have dual opteron 246, with SATA disks on TYAN S2885 motherboard. i have downloaded installation and packages for 9.0. the problem is that module sii6514.o for SIL3114 SATA controller is available only as binary (at ftp://ftp.tyan.com/drivers_linux/Silicon_Image/3114/). this is compiled for kernel 2.4.21-102-SMP while the current 9.0 installation uses 2.4.21-149-SMP kernel. obviously that provides a kernel panic at the boot time. does anybody know where can i get a corresponding sii6514.o somewhere? or can i get the corresponding kernel somewhere? or any other (reasonable) solution? thanks --jan -- Centre for 3D GeoInformation: The virtual geography specialists at http://www.3dgi.dk/en
