I would suggest you get a new hardware that is compatible with your system.

  Subject: RHL73 install probe issue


  I am trying to install RedHat 7.3 on a Render Box (Boxx Series 8104) and
have an interesting install problem. I am using the following for
installation and i keep getting anaconda probing the hardware even after
expressly telling it NOT to using the following:

  -- linux text dd noprobe --

  It starts a text install, requests and reads my driver disk required for
the Adaptect Ultra 320 SCSI subsystem which this OS does NOT support, and
then moves on throwing the following exception and bombing out of the
install:

  Running anaconda .. please wait
  Probing for video card: Traceback (innermost last)
    File="/usr/lib/anaconda", line 383 in ?
       videohw = videocard.VideoCardInfo(skipDDCProbe = flags.test
    File="/usr/lib/anacondavideocard.py", line 416 in __init__
       if self.readCardsDB() < 0:
    File="/usr/lib/anacondavideocard.py", line 436 in readCardsDB
       refcard = Video_cardslist[seecard]
  KeyError: RIVA TNT2
  install exited abnormally

  I realize this is antiquated software, but i am in need of running
Macromedia Flash Communication Server (v1.5) and it runs on Redhat 7.3 and
8.0 but since our farm is 95% RHL73 that was the OS of choice. I personally
would prefer to run this with Fedora Core 2 as the OS, but Macromedia doesnt
support this configuration as of yet.
