RE: [ia64qa:00096] RedHat 7.2 on Itanium-2

The driver bundled with RH 7.2 IA64 does not
support the onboard SCSI adapter of this machine. 
I can provide driver update disks 
that can be used for install.  Procedure is just like 
with 32 bit box', 
except at the ELILO prompt type "linux dd" instead of just 
"linux" or just pressing enter.

If you wish for the disks, please send me an email offline.

Thanks.
