This message is coming from anaconda's loader2/method.c, and is printed
after trying to mount the image as iso9660, ext2, cramfs then vfat. If I
had to guess, the "Invalid argument" might be the image itself. Are you
sure it's being transferred properly?

Backing up slightly, are you sure you need a driver disk at all? Each
revision of RHEL3 quarterly updates supports more hardware
out-of-the-box. Check the release notes to see what's new in RHEL3-U3.
