[TriLUG] failed to exec /sbin/modprobe scsi_hostadapter

[David B. Rankin]

Well I loaded 7.2 and got the same results.  Interestingly enough, I
loaded Caldera 2.2 (an really old copy) and the server came up fine.  I
doesn't recognize the dual processors but other than that all is well. 
I'm currently downloading ISOs of the latest Caldera to try as well. 
I'd really like to get the Red Hat to work. Any insights?
