What are you going to be using this system for? The only thing RH7.2
doesn't have over debian is the ability to install and upgrade with
apt. Otherwise, I'm sure RH7.2 s

Also, regarding the spelling and case, you are correct it should be
DAC960; I double checked.
# modprobe DAC960
modprobe: failed to load module DAC960
The original error also had a -v, so I tried that as well

Not sure how to use the ISO to determine a) what "d-i" it is using, or

wrong.

At a start, you might try running 'modprobe DAC960' from console #2, to
see if you get

Should I try RedHat, or another flavor of Linux that supports Alpha?

I changed the directory to /sbin and typed what you said.
/sbin # ./fdisk /dev/sda
