Hello Bill

I am looking at anaconda version 11.4.0.67, loadDriverDisks() is called
very early before module loading, Am I looking at the correct version?

I don't believe you understand how current (F9+) versions of the
installer work. What you describe just doesn't happen.

<chortle>
I just mentioned that very version on another list. It's much newer than
what you will find in RHEL5, it's about what will be in Fedora 9. I
found it in the boot.iso from Rawhide, built April 9.


<tosses dust in air> Hmm </tosses dust in air>
Might be about what appears in RHEL6. When's it due?

Yes. That's part of why it's broken. Where it's called today
you'll actually have *no* modules loaded at all, so it won't be
able to find anything. Except perhaps a floppy.

Once it's fixed, it will be after the normal device load, which
uses udev and loads pretty much everything.

Bill
