Hi -

I'm not sure how you created the drivers floppy - if it's the same one
you used with RH Linux 7.1, it won't work with the XFS installer since
we run a different (xfs-capable, 2.4.3-updated) kernel in our
installer.  You'll need to recompile the driver to be loadable under the
2.4.3-BOOT kernel we use in the installer.
