Which card are you running? Have you got a recent firmware? The newer driver (default in RH and Mandrake) needs a firmware update on the card. You can still use the old driver, I think by hitting F1, choosing expert, and then using "modprobe aic7xxx_old" at some point. I am not totally sure of this, since I took the approach of updating the firmware. If you are using Mandrake 8.1, you may also want to try booting from the 2nd CD, which has 3 alternate images to boot from. Here is a link to a discussion of this for Mandrake 8.1 http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=788&lang=en Regards, Buchan Dr. Guilherme Regis wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone have information about how > to create an aic7xxx driver on a floppy disk? > I need it because RHL7.2's and Mandrake's > aic7xxx drivers fail during the install.
