Dear Steve and others,
"...cern...modules.dep" and "hda: driver not present" are not
reasons for the failure of the installation. I don't need "hda=noprobe".
This reason is that our PCs use "sda" not "hda" but
the default of redhat73-cfg.h is "hda" not "sda".
So I added #define SCSI_HOSTADAPTER aic7xxx to our site header files.
Then the installation of each node could be started.
Best Regards,
