My scsi card is not officially supported by any linux kernel, but I have a scsi driver which works just fine with it that I got from an independant source. However, when I went to do an upgrade to RH 6.0, it asked me if I wanted to use scsi. I said yes. The driver wasn't listed so I went back and said no scsi, figuring i'd install it later. The install continued, but then the installer, even though I said not to use scsi, tried, for some reason to mount every drive in /etc/fstab, which included scsi drives. Failing the mount, the installer eventually failed.
This is not a bug, as this is the way that the installer works.
