OK, ftp://ftp.redhat.com/johnsonm/bootadvansys.img.gz is a new boot image
with compiled-in advansys support. Those of you who had trouble
installing a kernel with an advansys card should try this new image;
I'm guessing it will solve your installation problems.
Assuming it works, after doing the install (and setting up LILO, etc),
boot *from the floppy* with "linux root=/dev/sd??" where "sd??" is the
root partition on the hard drive. Then mount the floppy and copy
the vmlinuz off it into your /boot directory and re-run lilo. At
that point, you should have a working system.
Please let me know if this works, and if it doesn't, please give me
all the relevant messages.
Thanks,
michaelkjohnson
