I booted into a loader prompt and entered "load amr". Result was a /boot/kernel/amr.ko text=xxxxxx data=xxxxxx syms=xxxxxxx so I guess the driver has been loaded successfully. If I then enter "autoboot" to start booting, system still cannot found root. If I enter "?" to show valid boot devices, I only get acd0 (CD-ROM) and fd0, so I think the amr.ko could not detect the controller... any ideas? Is the amr.ko to old for this controller? is there a new one around? thanks!
