Nothing worked so far. So I installed RedHat9 to know what is different.
RH9-installer instals Advansys-drivers just before (the blue window) anaconda begins it's part.
Fedora skips Advansys-driver installation and anaconda takes ower.

Is that a bug or is there no advansys-driver any more with Fedora?

I almost remember, that in RH6.? - RH7.? there was a possibility to add extra drivers in the beginning of installation, if you had somwhere the drivers you needed.
How about Fedora and from where to get the Advansys-driver?
