Description gndzero 1999-10-29 04:11:21 UTC

Unable to install RH 6.1 as install asks for a driver disk
(undocumented feature that is not in the installation guide
or reference guide).  I attempt to add the aha1740.o module
for Adaptec 1740 SCSI but receive a null path error as
module is not included on CDROM(s).

Just to make sure that I understand your problem.  You have another module which
is not included in the distribution that you are trying to load?  Or are you
trying to get the installer to load a module which is included in the
distribution?

The error message that I think you are referring to "path is NULL" is not a bad
thing.  This is just a debug statement telling us whether the module was loaded
from the installer or from a boot disk.  Reopen this bug if you are still having
problems.  You should be able to continue with the installation from the point
you talk about above.  The CDROM activates, so that should indicate that the
SCSI adapter is recognized by the system.
