While attempting to upgrade a 5.2 system to 6.0, the installer has a problem loading the necessary SCSI module. Switching over to CTL-ALT-F3 showed the following: *found driver for NCR 53C8XX PCI *running: /bin/insmod /bin/insmod /modules/ncr53c8xx.o *insmod failed! Ok, fair enough. Let me switch to CTL-ALT-F2 and try it manually: bash# /bin/insmod /modules/ncr53c8xx.o /tmp/ncr53c8xx.o: kernel-module version mismatch ncr53c8xx.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.5-14BOOT while this kernel is version 2.2.12-2.6.0BOOT There appears to have been an oversight when constructing the installer image. Could someone please see to making an image available with updated modules? It is rather important that I be able to load SCSI modules as I can't see the root partition without it. This might also be the place to suggest a white paper on installer disk construction be added to your collection. As there's no READMEs available in the source, such a document would be very helpful. Thank you.
