Ken, You can insmod the IBM drivers with the new kernel. We're doing it, and it works fine. You have to use the '-f' option though, but only because SuSE I was talking Red Hat, not SuSE. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM

So does Red Hat's replacement kernel break the driver? Unless the kernel version changes, it shouldn't. -Original Message- From: Michael MacIsaac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 12:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Red Hat 7.2 - install by tape
