RH4 installation

Hi Scully,

 From where can I download the Update ISO?  I have RH4.0 CDs but it's
installation kernel cannot detect my SATA disk controller (Intel
ICH7R).  I tried manually loading the driver during the installation
(using the expert mode) but it won't proceed and the installation script
will simply reboot the server.

TIA.
