I could post my Blade 100 .config if you want?
Has SCSI stuff in it too, the onboard IDE is simply too crap to use, and it works.

I netboot atm though. SCSI card ain't 100% OK in OBP it seems, but it boots just fine anyway.

After you compiled the new kernel did you copy it and the new modules to the appropraite places?

Did you update your /etc/silo.conf file?

Did you run silo after updating /etc/silo.conf?

To be pedantic, you don't necessarily need to run silo.

From the silo man page:
Quote:
This means that the /sbin/silo program must be run only if you install a new ver-
sion of SILO or if you move the second stage loader on the disk. Unlike the LILO
bootloader on the Intel platform, you don't have to rerun it every time you make a
change into /etc/silo.conf or when you install new kernels.


Did you include the drivers for the NIC? (I don't know if the 100 uses hme or not. A quick Google didn't show).

Peacemangeo, did you get your system running? If you still need help, let us know what your configuration looks like. The dmesg output is very helpful.
