Yes and no.
And thus I can't use those servers with lunar :(

I'm actually refering to before the 1.2, as I recall the mpt stuff in there.
Time to go and search for those isos.

Which brings me to the point that you guys are really missing.

 There are no modules on the ISO...

the big servers lately *all* have IDE CD/DVD-roms, but the disks are on
SCSI/RAID controllers.

Thus, boot passed the initrd, and then still have the modules available, as
you'll then can try to download stuff from the net etc. and then keep the
limited list in the initrd.
