Re: missing driver problem

[steve%prd.co.uk@localhost (Steve Blinkhorn)]

Hi,

Thanks for pursuing this.   I downloaded an ISO image of 6.1.4, and
installed from DVD.   I can see the same "not configured" messages in
the hardware probe phase of the initial load from DVD.    Is it
possible that the standard 6.1.4 kernel is somehow configured
differently?
