OMSA support for Debian

[Brian E. Seppanen]

I have a debian sarge system that I just compiled 2.6.18 for.    I 
included the mainline dcdbas driver.   What other steps would be required 
to get the other drivers necessary for providing the omsa support?

Is there a howto somewhere.   Using Paul Bordulin's omsa-drivers-4.4 
source to compile the drivers for 2.6.18, i get errors similar to the 
following

   CC [M]  /usr/src/omsa-driver-4.4/buildtmp.4400/dcdesm/dcddks.o

its been a long time, since I've delved into getting omsa working on 
debian, so have mercy...

Thanks,
