Here I am, with a nice new RedHat CD and a problem. The box I want to install it on has an Adaptec 2490 SCSI and 3Com 3c590 ethernet card. The CDROM has a 2490 kernel, but no 3590 support. What are my options? The Slackware disk doesn't seem to support this card either, at least not in the install stuff. I have to get the networking working immediately rather than starting off with getting it running and compiling a new kernel because I have no SCSI CDROM, so I have to install over the network. Am I out of luck? Will I have to mug someone for their CDROM? Supposing I manage to go home, get a kernel to compile (which it refuses to do on the slackware 1.1.13 systems at work) what do I copy to the Red Hat boot disk? the zImage made on a floppy via the kernel compilation source?
