Debian etch on the PE2850

[Giorgio Quattrone]

Hi,
    we have some PE2850 running Debian Etch: with kernel 2.6.x there is
no more "megaraid2" driver.
Now there are "megaraid_mm" and "megaraid_mbox".
I recommend you to closely follow the release notes (ch. 4)
http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/
and have a look at the wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/Sarge2EtchUpgrade

Regards
