[Plug] HP Netserver LX Pro


I'm trying to install Linux.

The box has:
 2 p6 200mhz cpus (very nice)
 512mb of ram (also very nice)
 an adaptec scsi card (which is no problem, and a nice card).

 [here comes the kicker]

 it has a hardware RAID array.  It's supposed to use the following driver:
   DAC960.0

I've done quite a few things to try to get the install to use this driver,
everything short of re-creating the redhat boot disk (which I have so far
stuck my own kernel on - which had the above driver built in, and attempting 
to load it using insmod after redhat gives up the shell on the second virtual
terminal during the install) which I don't fully understand how to do.

Does anyone know anything about how I might accomplish this?  I'd rather
not have to let the other guys put NT on it...I'd rather not give them
the chance to grin smugly.


can I be helped?
