Both stage 1 and stage2 have kernel modules for devices. Think of stage 2 as the extended hardware detection. if the kernel modules in stage 2 do not match Stage 1, you will get this message. So -- you can either fix this by downrevving (if you up revved) stage 1, or doing the same if that is where you made the change - both module versions must match exactly. -brad > I am attempting to build a RedHat AS 2.1 Update 2 (2.4.9-e.24) boot.iso disk > with the 1.18k megaraid driver included in it to install on many Dell PE > 1750s with the Perc 4/Di RAID cards.
