1. Topic:

2. Bug IDs fixed (http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

3. Relevant releases/architectures:

4. Obsoleted by:

5. Conflicts with:

6. Images required:

ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/images/i386/boot.img 
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/images/i386/bootnet.img 
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/images/i386/supp.img 
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/images/i386/modules.img 

7. Problem description:

These installer images fix several problems in previous
installer releases:

- Adaptec SCSI negotiation infinite loops
- AMI MegaRAID driver updates to support newer cards
- failed PCMCIA probes on certain laptops

8. Solution:

Further Instructions Three disks are needed for Intel based computers:
"boot.img" or "bootnet.img", "supp.img", and "modules.img".
Choose "boot.img" for local installs (CD-Rom, hard drive) or
"bootnet.img" for network installs (NFS, FTP, HTTP). Copy the three
images to 1.44 MB floopy disks using:
	dd if=file.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k 
under Linux or  "rawrite.exe" under DOS or Windows. 
		  
After preparing the disk images, insert the appropriate boot disk and
boot the computer. At the boot prompt type "linux supp" and
press Enter. This tells the installer to load changes from the
supplemental and modules disks. The installer will prompt
the user to insert the supplemental disk and modules disk during the
installation process. 

9. Verification:
