Re: NEWBIE: Installing FastTrak 100 TX2 module during a Kickstart

  I'm confused as to what you are doing.  The driver on Promise's
website is a driver disk.  You should just put all the file on a
floppy.  Start the installation cdrom with "linux dd".  Insert the
driver disk when the installer asks for it.

PS-  The error messages indicate that you need to load the scsi driver
before loading the ft driver.
