Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.2beta3 w/2.2.17 and 3ware 6800
I do have one more question though. Is there somekind of limitation, that keeps some modules un-available during install? I could understand a size limitation for a floppy install, but what about the CD install? Jim Fritz wrote: Thank you. It wasn't clear, and I appreciate your answer.

I am not sure how to go about this, I have found that the kernel-2.2.17-21mdk.i586.rpm from 7.2beta3 does include the module. But I am not sure why it isn't available during the install; but it isn't as far as I can find.

The 2.2.17 kernel has the new 3Ware adapter driver in it, but the install doesn't list it as an available driver. It should be listed once I select "Have SCSI", as it is a SCSI driver.

Solution: Use your own custom kernel together with the floppy image blank.img. The custom kernel must contain every driver needed for the installation, not just modules. It must also be less than 700KB to fit on the floppy. Just create a boot floppy using blank.img by using dd if=blank.img of=/dev/fd0 if /dev/fd0 is your floppy device.

Or maybe there are already some instructions on using blank.img, that I have not been able to find. I don't mind RTFM, if I can find it.
