REDHAT 7.x with Kernel 2.84 unable to install on Dell PowerEdge 750
In trying to install on Dell Poweredge 750 with PERC-4DC Controller, Install does not find the hard drives. Is there a solution to fix this problem. I know in Windows 2000 I could have downloaded the driver and pressed F6 to load it on startup of the install. Is there anywhere I can find the driver for Redhat and is there an equivalent procedure in Linux to read driver from a disk

Seems to have the PERC4-Di adapter. This machine has the PERC4-DC adapter

Sorry Alf666 thanks for the assist but it still doesn't seem to work (see my comments above)
Oops. Sorry. But, and maybe is this a stupid question, why don't you use a more recent Linux like a SuSE 9.0 which includes all SCSI drivers directly at install time ?

I am actually using Egress 4.5 www.viatornetworks.com which is a High Speed Internet Access Software which come with Redhat 7.3. Regretabbly I don't have the option of going to the latest version or changing to a different distribution.

Then, copy it to a floppy disk (with disk image for example or dd if you have access to a Linux system).
When Redhat presents you with the boot menu, add the keyword "expert" to the boot line :
linux expert
It should ask you for a drivers disk. Use the provided floppy. Select the megaraid driver.
That should do it.
