Yep, it does match. Verified with lspci -n.
And I'm able to install centos 4.3 with similar selfmade dd image to the same box..
I'm currently reading the anaconda installer sources to find out what's
happening.. anaconda/loader2/driverdisk.c
Good ideas very welcome.. :)
Given that your driver disk building process seems OK judging by the
success on Centos 4.3, this may be worth a bugzilla ticket on FC5
anaconda; you might get some help from the "other side of the fence"
that way.
