Also the "adaptec.s" for Adaptec SCSI controllers.

Please send information from Menphis Tennessee
What's your SCSI hardware ?
Could it possibly be something under "smart array" ?
if so try the raid.s kernel, if not check with scsi
or adaptec, if all fail check with older slack or
other distro inst CD and give some info ...
See you

that worked great. now i am installing i am happy. thanks to all who
replied.

i used the adaptec scsi image. it installed great. the only problem i am
having now is that it does not see my second nic card which is a realtek
8139. i went into /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and it enabled it. when i do
netconfig it does not see it, it only sees the intel that is built into the
main board. what else can i do?

First stop top posting.

All you need to do is add a line in /etc/modules.conf for the
right module for the second NIC.

alias eth1 modulename

You don't need to include the ".o" on the end.

Then use ifconfig to test it.

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up

If that works you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and add the IP
address for the second NIC.

The "problem" with netconfig is that it stops detecting when it finds a
NIC. Problaly the intel is the first card.
Netconfig then writes its findings to a file called
/etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice.

An other way to make sure which is which:

Just add your rtl to that file. If you want it to be eth0, as the first
one. Otherwise at the bottom as the second one.
