Here are the drivers available on the "hd.img" boot floppy, that apparently are not PCI SCSI drivers (since they are not in the pcitable) :
[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi] for i in `mdk-stage1/mar/mar -l kernel/all.modules/2.4.19-16mdkBOOT/hd_modules.mar | egrep -v 'floppy|scsi|sd_mod|fat|reiser|isofs|loop' | perl -ne '/\s*(\S+)\.o/ and print "$1\n"'`; do grep $i /usr/share/ldetect-lst/pcitable >/dev/null || echo $i; done NCR53c406a aha152x aha1542 psi240i qlogicfas qlogicfc wd7000 sim710 sym53c416 t128 ultrastor 53c7,8xx Since they are not in the pcitable, these drivers have zero chance to be automatically loaded when booting from "hd.img" - still, of course, people can manually select them, most often need to input manually some io port options etc, and then they can use them to perform a disk install. Since we are always short in diskspace on the boot floppies, could enlightened people of you help me guessing if these can be safely removed because they are so old/broken/unused/anything? On the opposite, if some of these drivers ring a bell for you as drivers you heard people still use much, I'd like to know that as well.
