[olug] Red Hat upgrade question

[Brian Roberson]

copy the mudules image from the first redhat cd, or the ftp site, it is in the images/ directory, same place you got the bootdisk image. With that, write the image to a floppy disk:

under linux:
dd if=modules.img of=/dev/fd0 

under winblows:
rawrite  ( this binary is in the dosutils/ directory on cd #1 )
follow on screen directions


have you tried to autodetect the nic? It may actually be supported by the bootdisk, you probably will not find a driver named "NDC" , but the chipset on the card it more than likely supported.

  How do I go about creating a device driver disk?  I'm trying to do an install via ftp.  I'm using expert mode do to problems I encounter with a normal install.  During the normal install I always receive a single 11, and the install craps out on me.  In the past I've always used expert mode, and I have never had any problems.

  When starting the install, I'm prompted to either select a network card from a list, or insert a disk with the drivers on it.  My nic card is a cheap card made by NDC.  It is not in the list, and I don't know how to create the device driver disk.  I tried coping the current device file onto it, but that didn't work.  Is there something special that I need to do?  

  Thank you.
