The kernel version on this Release fits the kernel versions on driver disk. But -- CentOS 4.2 lacks support for the Broadcom Gigabit Controller of this machine. So I can't load the driver disk because network and USB are not available.

why can you not just ask Dell for an updated driver disk ?

the other real option is to install the module manually, the driver will
work fine, even if its built for RHEL 4.0 ( work with CentOS 4.3 - but
only if instmod'd manually, anaconda wont even bother testing / trying
if the kernel version is different, and hence the issue ).


Also, can you stop top posting ? that really messes up things.
