Hi there --
I was going to experiment with a CentOS x86_64 install in the following manner: One of our new dual-xeon servers is using an Adaptec SATA controller card that has drivers available for Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and Enterprise Linux 3.0. I was going to create the drivers for one or the other and then attempt an install via the linux dd command. My question is, would either of these drivers work with a version of CentOS, and if so what version could I use? Thanks.

Maybe ... Usually, the kernel version for the driver needs to match the kernel it is built for. So, you would use CentOS-3 or CentOS-2.1 and get the ISO that you need, based on the driver.
We did not release a CentOS-3.0 ... so there is not a CD for that.
What update # is the RHEL driver for (ie, RHEL-4 Update 2, etc.)
You can find old CDs and trees here:
