I get absolutely NO prompts asking me about hardware and any drivers 
that I want to selectively load.  The 7.2 build of the installer image 
seems to have "broken" a couple of things.

Did this yesterday as well.  Even after using a driver disk  megaraid.o 
does not show as loaded.  It does appear that the installer kernel 
thinks the MegaRAID controller is some type of USB contrller.  We saw
