<p class=MsoNormal> Howdy,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I had to use a driver disk today to install CentOS 5 on a
Poweredge 1900 /w a 3ware 9650SE controller card.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The only gotcha I noticed is that for some reason CentOS 5
will not read driver disk files off of a thumbdrive (usb key) when it is being
emulated as auto, hard disk, or floppy disk. (it saw the thumb drive as SDA in
all instances) however when I plugged in a USB floppy drive (the poweredge 1900
is sans floppy controller) it still saw the drive as SDA and it read the files
off of the USB floppy disk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My question, I suppose is what is the difference between a
floppy emulated SDA and a USB floppy SDA?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
