From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0 i686) Description of problem: The driver disk is 1536000 bytes large now, where it used to be 1440000 like all of the other ones. I used fdformat and mformat to make a 1722000 byte floppy and dd'd the driver.img to the disk, but it always says Error: Failed to mount driver disk. I need the driver disk because I'm trying to use a network boot, and when I select ftp as the source, it goes directly to select driver, and it has no drivers there, and it says press f2 to load driver disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load the bootnet.img disk into a machine and boot it 2. select new installation 3. tell it ftp source 4. it wants a driver, but none are available, so it says press f2 5. give it the driver disk, press return Actual Results: Error: Failed to mount driver disk Expected Results: It should have mounted the driver disk and allowed me to select the tulip driver for an ftp installation. Incidentally, in 7.1, it just worked on the same machine (it's an old pentium 75-200 Micron Millennia) Additional info:
Fixed after rawhide was cut -- you'll probably have better luck with the beta for the next release of Red Hat Linux available at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/roswell/
