Good morning
Sigh!

I installed the dkms 0.40-16-1 and went through build procedure again, 
but again I get to the install screen that asks if I have a driver 
disk, and I say ok, and it comes back with

The floppy disk you have inserted is not a valid driver disk for this 
release of Red Hat Linux

I f I boot with "expert noprobe" I also come to this screen.

By the way, the disk image still gets created with an empty modules.dep 
file. I have tried it as is, and also after inserting aacraid:scsi_mod  
(should there be a space after the colon?)
