From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: When booting off the bootnet.img for RH 7.3, and then going to devices and trying to load the driver disk by pressing F2, and then inserting the driver disk from 7.3 named drvnet.img, the installer says the disk are incorrect for this version of Redhat. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot from the bootnet.img from rh 7.3 2.when asked for the driver to use, press f2 3.insert the drvnet floppy. Actual Results: It said that the drivers were not for this release of redhat Expected Results: should of allowed me to load the drivers off the disk. Additional info:
Have you tried writing the driver disk onto a different disk to check if its a media problem?
I hit exactly the same issue/same error message, and I tried a second disk, and it worked fine; I think your theory is right.
Any luck with a different disk?
I booted from boot.net, hit f2 and loaded drvnet fine. I selected etherlink III (3c509) and then tried to set the IRQ to 7. At that point the process went into a loop continually querying for a device, unless I didn't try to set the IRQ. The default IRQ doesn't work because of a conflict. Setting it to 7 works fine in 7.2 /etc/modules.conf
Good to hear its working.
