seems my local harddrive image was a little corrupt and very flaky. work in some instances but not all. didnt like linux dd <anything> made my 4th driver disk this time from my cdrom copy and its worked as expected. I do find it intresting that if i just did a normal install and specifed my nfs source it would prompt me for a driver disk and give me the list of drivers but using linux dd it wouldn't give me that same list. The first time i tried a normal install it loaded the driver and started to go through package selection but i aborted the install as i wanted to test out my kickstart install when i tried today to do the same thing it wouldnt load the driver telling me it wasnt there. so i decided to pop the cdrom in a machine and make a driver disk from that on a hunch and it seems my local image is corrupted somewhat.
