During the install it fails to find any disks to load to. I got the drivers from Dell and dd the correct one to a floppy, boot from the appliance cd and enter linux dd at the prompt. I load the driver in the install and it still fails to find any disks. Maybe contact your 'applicance' provider to provide you an updated version of his 'appliance' based on CentOS 4.x . If you really have to stick with that appliance version, you can still try to modify your driver disk to match the kernel used during setup (remember that up to CentOS 4.3, a i586 kernel and not a i686 one was used so kernel mismatch with the driver disk , containing only i686 modules !). To understand what to change : http://www.arrfab.net/? topic=tutorials&id=centosdd On the other hand, i had recently to setup CentOS 4.4 on newer IBM x336 servers that come with LSI Sas controller and that was supported without any driver disk ! -- Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin at arrfab.net>
