No devices of the appropriate type were found on the driver disk
When installing redhat enterprise linux, I used floppy to load some driver. In alt+f3 screen, I found the driver has been found/loaded/inserted in turn. But a dialogue still shows "No devices of the appropriate type were found on the driver disk", and gave me 3 options: manually choose, continue, and load another disk. I chose continue, and the installation continued and the driver functions properly.
Why the dialogue was shown when I can use this driver? When will the dialogue be shown? Please help to answer, or give me some useful link. Many thanks. |
would help if you actually told us what driver and hardware you're even talking about.

the driver is nVidia MCP55 NIC v0.56, and the machine is x86_64 smp CPU.

anybody who can help~~~

you're trying to make Linux use a windows driver on a windows cd? that's not going to work. You need to ask how to get the end result you need to get to, not why or why not the fix you've decided is necessary is or isn't working...
what do you actually want to do? configure your nic? the nforce chipset can use the native forcedeth driver, which will be on any recent distro installer cd. |
