Thanks. I ended up going ahead and doing the "right" thing by updating the floppy image with the newer BOOT kernel files, etc. and if the process adding the dpt_i2o and sd_mod drivers so that I could install to my Adaptec 3200s raid card without doing some insmods in the %pre section. Figuring out that I needed sd_mod took a good solid day....argh..... Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sean P.

Possibly "noprobe", see http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ch-b ootopts.html You could cheat and remove the module from the installer kernel somehow, or use the fixed, updated kernel-BOOT package to rebuild the stage1 installer. Can you pass any arguments to the driver to work around the lockups: $ modinfo `locate aic7xxx.o` Cheers, Phil _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
