Redhat 7.2 Installation
 
I am attempting to install Redhat 7.2. I have a Adaptec 1740 and 2940 SCSI controllers. On bootup of the boot.img image provided by the 7.2 disks, I am unable to find the drivers for the cards. Reading the readme.doc, it indicates that there should be drivers.img file in the images directory, but I cannot find such file. I have tried the other images in the images folder to no avail. Anybody have any suggestions.

Found this in the images/README file:

The drivers.img driver disk image has been split into several disks because of the increasing size of the supported modules.

The following driver disks are available:
drvblock.img - Supplemental Block Device Drivers
drvnet.img - Supplemental Network Drivers
oldcdrom.img - Supplemental CDROM controllers
pcmciadd.img - PCMCIA Driver Diskette

I'm not sure if these contain any SCSI drivers, but they're probably worth looking at.

Drivers for those cards are probably built-in. Just press enter and continue with the install (probably)...

Try drvblock.img - make a disk image with it and pop it in during the startup to load the SCSI drivers.
