side effect of it being in the unsupported directory maybe? (03:50:34:davej@delerium:davej)$ find /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl | grep advansys /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/unsupported/drivers/scsi/advansys.o It would seem so... I think those unsupported drivers should be made available on the driver disk in the event a user has that hardware on their systemk, even though they're unsupported. I feel that Fedora should support these, so that people don't have to buy new hardware right away. are these drivers going to be supported in FC 2? Apparently not.... I'm running into the same problem with FC2. Tom: Does that happen when you try to do a hard drive install with the boot CD, or booting off of FC2 disk 1? FYI (to save someone some time) I could get Fedora Core 2 to install on my SCSI drives thru an advansys controller by manually installing the driver before graphical anaconda started. I bet this procedure will also work for Core 1. 1. when the screen pops up asking to install additional drivers, switch over to 2nd virtual terminal (alt-F2) 2. extract the advansys driver from the kernel rpm on your CD: # cd /tmp # rpm2cpio /mnt/source/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.5-1.358.i586.rpm | cpio -i -d --no-absolute-filenames '*advansys.ko' # modprobe lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/drivers/scsi/advansys.ko 3. switch back to virtual terminal 1 and continue with install Hope that helps someone. Hopefully in FC3 the advansys driver will be in the additional drivers so you don't have to do it manually. Maybe I'll do it myself and send a patch. |
