I made a partition on the harddrive using a liveCD, put the install ISO on
it and extracted it.
Tried an askmethod HD install, but it turns out the installer asks for a
driver for that too <sob>

I'm running out of other ideas than getting the driver for the above listed
hardware.
Who could I ask? I mean, the above chipset and ...things are common these
days and supported by all the latest distros.
Is there no way of supplying the K12LTSP6 and 5EL installer with the needed
driver?


sigh...
