    Hello People,

    Computer: Compaq Proliant 800 PII
    Adaptec SCSI PSI AHA-2940UW PRO
    OS: Redhat 9

    What I am trying to do: Trying to load driver aic78xx before kickstart
    install.

    What I have done that works;
    For some reason the Compaq proliant will hang when the install probes
    for hardware. So I Install Redhat 9 using; linux noprobe , I'm
    loading the aic7xxx driver and all works fine.

    This what I need to do;
    Install redhat 9 on same computer using kickstart.
    What I have done; start install and issue, linux noprobe ks=floppy. The
    problem I am having is how do I get the installer to ask me for the
    SCSI Driver?

    Do I issue a command within the kickstart ks.cfg file? If so what is
    the statement?
    Other recommendations?

    Thanks, Rick
