Oddly I can install RedHat 6.2 with the same driver diskette on the same machine anytime. What do you say, how should I approach this one? Please help me. Best regards, Robert "ServeRAID For Linux" on 02/26/2001 08:00:11 PM To: "Robert Miciovici" cc: Subject: IBM ServerRAID 4L firmware 4.40.03 Red Hat 7 contains version 4.20 if the ips driver. It should install on a ServeRAID 4L ( even without a driver diskette ). If you want to use the 4.50 driver diskette during install, it also works. I have installed RH 7 many times using the current ( 4.50 ) diskette and have never seen a problem. BTW, Keith left IBM in December. "Robert Miciovici" on 02/26/2001 12:15:00 PM To: Keith Mitchell cc: Subject: IBM ServerRAID 4L firmware 4.40.03 Hi Keith, I know that you are busy, and I apologise for taking up a little of your precios time, but I would like to ask you a simple question. How could I install RedHat 7.0 on a Netfinity 5100 with a IBM ServerRAID 4L firmware 4.40.03 ? I already tried with the latest driver diskette but it's not working, says something like: ips module couldn't be loaded complaining about probably some incorrect module parameters (which I didn't supply manually and I don't know what should I). Btw: RedHat 6.2 installs like a charm with the same drivers diskette.
