Hello,
I used the driver supplied by the vendor [1] to add aditional drivers
for the setup of redhat on intel SE7230nh1 server board.
Now, we need to update to the updated kernel. Luckly the vendor does
provide a driver to the RH4-ES-U1 kerenl but only in a img file format.
i.e. sutible only for fresh install.
I would like to use the driver provided by this image, which I
downloaded and mounted by:
<<<
mount -o loop /tmp/dud-rh40-u1-x86_64-megaide-v5.08u-generic-1.img
/media/fd0/
>>>
on my working system.
Using rhn I have downloaded the new rpm kernel package and it's
installed in the grub boot menu but when trying to boot the kernel I get
kernel panic stating that no drives were found.
Thank you for helping.

You need to get into that /media/fd0 directory and find the driver
itself. It'll have ".ko" after the name, e.g. "driver.ko". That will
have to be put into the
/lib/modules/(updated-kernel-version)/kernel/drivers/scsi
directory, and you will then need to rebuild the initrd image for the
new kernel. I can give you the commands, but I'll need a few things
from you:
1. I need you to mount that image again and post the output of
"find /media/fd0 -print" (run as the root user)
2. I need the kernel version number of the new kernel you
installed. Or post the content of the /boot/grub/grub.conf
file.

I use VNC a lot. With Fedora Core 4, I was pleasantly surprized to see
that I can share my desktop with some different options. The time came
this past weekend when my wife (Windows XP Pro) needed to see something
on my screen and so I VNCed to her PC and (you see what's coming don't
you...) VNCed back to mine through that VNC window.
You know the affect you get when you stand in a room with mirrors on
both walls? You see yourself, looking at yourself, looking at you
looking at yourself and so on and so on and so on...
Do you know how hard it is to close a VNC window when it's regenerating
one every few micro-seconds? Now you don't have to. I did it for you.
ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHH!
HTH (someone). And I didn't want to get up and walk the 18 feet to
where she has her PC. Laziness is its own punishment, someone wiser than
I once said.
