[sclug] Debian Install

[Leon Ward]

	I have been running debian on a few box's for a while now and am
happy with her, so-far every install I have completed has been a walk in the
park, until this one...

I have decided to move my desktop from RH to Debian, however I have run into
a little problem with the SCSI drivers.

The RH installs I have had on here have never had a problem, however woody
does not detect my scsi card

[root at splurgle nard]# cat /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0
Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 6.2.8
aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

[root at splurgle nard]# cat /proc/pci 
--snip--
Bus  3, device   9, function  0:
    SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892P U160/m (rev 2).
      IRQ 10.
      Master Capable.  Latency=44.  Min Gnt=40.Max Lat=25.
      I/O at 0xb800 [0xb8ff].
      Non-prefetchable 64 bit memory at 0xfc8ff000 [0xfc8fffff].



The install suggests that I place the required modules on a floppy and load
them, however the install guide
(http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install) does not give any
information on this (or am i blind?)


I know there are some hardcore debian users' on this list, can someone point
me in a good direction to start reading?
