Thanks for the input. I could not get it to work, so I transfered the ISO's over to my test machine and loaded off the hard drive. FC2 is now up and running, and appears to recognize everything. So Far So good.

I am just trying to install FC2 for the first time on an older test
machine. Both of my CDRoms are connected to an ADVANSYS SCSI PCI
controller. I have no problem booting from the first disk, but when I get
to the Installation Method Screen, choose local CDRom, I get No Driver
Found, and I do not see a supported driver on the List. Can I get a
driver that can be put on a floppy? If so where? (Advansys (now
Initio)Website does not have current driver) I have spent several hours
browsing Newsgroups etc. with no luck. I checked my iso's with md5sum and
did not see any problems.

Try to install with "linux noprobe" and choose the SCSI driver by hand. The initial FC2 kernel has following module

$ modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/drivers/scsi/advansys.ko
license:        Dual BSD/GPL
vermagic:       2.6.5-1.358 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3
depends:        scsi_mod

which should fit I think. Though the current FC2 kernel does not ship
with it any more.
