Hmm.. all of my files in the dd image look correct.
In addition to the files above, I also have "pci.ids" file.
FC5 installer will give
"ERROR failed to open /tmp/drivers/pci.ids: No such file or directory"
error if I don't have that file on the dd image.
"pci.ids", "pcitable" and "modules.pcimap" contain correct pci/device ids
(verified with lspci - and those files are taken from "official" qlogic

fs of the dd image is vfat. FC5 installer didn't seem to like ext2.
Hmm.. that i586 module seems to be a lot bigger than the i686 versions..
i586 version is compiled by hand, i686 versions are compiled automatically
by ddiskit.
ddiskit probably strips the module.
Try: strip -g 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/i586/qla4xxx.ko
Yep.
But anyway, FC5 installer doesn't like this image. It starts to read the
floppy ("Reading driver disk"), but it won't load the module. No errors in
the VC3.
In VC3 I see only this:
"INFO trying to mount sdb"
"INFO modules to insert"
"INFO load module set done"
When I manually extract the i586 qla4xxx.ko from the dd image, I can load
it
fine with insmod..
Any ideas? For some reason the installer doesn't even try to load the
qla4xxx module..
Are you sure your actual hardware matches one of the PCI IDs listed?
What's the output of "lspci -n"?
Yep, it does match. Verified with lspci -n.
And I'm able to install centos 4.3 with similar selfmade dd image to the same box..
I'm currently reading the anaconda installer sources to find out what's
happening.. anaconda/loader2/driverdisk.c
Good ideas very welcome.. :)
Given that your driver disk building process seems OK judging by the
success on Centos 4.3, this may be worth a bugzilla ticket on FC5
anaconda; you might get some help from the "other side of the fence"
that way.
