OK, I had Mandrake 6.0 working all fine and good on my box that was running with

in order to get a RAID functional, I obtained a compatible I20 compliant RAID card
(DPT PM1554U2 Decade SMARTRaid V controller) and am trying to reinstall linux onto
it. I have gotten the custom linux installation to recognize both scsi controllers,
but now it does not seem to find the builtin ethernet(intel etherexpress pro 100),
nor can it install the bootloader or create a boot floppy. It has no problem
installing the packages to the hard drive on the adaptec controller, nor does it have
a problem with mounting the RAID(4 9gig hd RAID level 5). I don't know if I need to
use the supplementary disk, but I am even having trouble locating the image for those
disks. I also have tried several combinations with the settings for !

both controllers but have not had any success. Does anyone have any ideas to get this
machine working?

Sounds like your custom boot disk has a different kernel version than the
instimage, the files in Mandrake/instimage/modules on your cd/mirror need
tobe the same version as the boot disk.
