so the installer talks about .... the system came preinstalled with redhat 8.0 and I do have a copy of the kernel-config file for the running kernel so if I knew how to build a different install disk...
it would seem to require LSI Logic....blah and listed below.... where does one acquire these extra driver disk..... I should pointout that I tried using the sept version of the install cdrom...perhaps the latest one will work better? redhat8.0# uname -a 2.4.18-14 redhat8.0# lspci -H1 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2550 (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2552 (rev 03) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2553 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #1) (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #2) (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #3) (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB ICH4 IDE (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon VE QY 02:1c.0 PIC: Intel Corp. 82870P2 P64H2 I/OxAPIC (rev 03) 02:1d.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82870P2 P64H2 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 03) 02:1e.0 PIC: Intel Corp. 82870P2 P64H2 I/OxAPIC (rev 03) 02:1f.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82870P2 P64H2 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 03) 03:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 01) 04:0e.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 (rev 07) 05:0c.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) 04:0e.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 (rev 07) Subsystem: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 012c Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 72, IRQ 9 I/O ports at cc00 [size=256] Memory at ff4f0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at ff4e0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at ff500000 [disabled] [size=1M] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [68] PCI-X non-bridge device. also the ethernet driver? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
