I am using the (basic) Gentoo live cd and I got my Promise 376 to work with the module. I finished my install but I get a kernel panic:
"VFS: cannot open root device "804" or 08:04
Please append a correct "root" boot option"
The array appears at /dev/sda and I can boot into my WinXP from lilo which is at /dev/sda1 without any problems.
This is what I tryed:
"cp /root/ft3xx.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/scsi/"
and I added "ft3xx" to "/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4"
but it doesn't seem to load it at boot time.
Do I need to do modprobe first?
I can't now because I run of the Live CD and modprobe will only add modules to the CD kernel even when i'm chrooted.
Did I do something wrong or is there any way to compile the module "into" the kernel?
I hope someone can help me.
