Yep, I'm sure. This is the way it has to be done. I don't have any choice
in the matter. My only task is to get the thing installed.

Sure, you want to? HW RAID functionality is more or less a gimmick, and
current kernel support these cards natively as simple IDE controllers.
You can have software RAID funct. on top of these devices, which is
significantly faster, too, BTW. I wouldn't trust any closed source
modules, even if they happen to work by chance.
Secondly, I'm pretty sure, you will _want_ to upgrade to a newer kernel
release. 2.4.2 is a prehistoric one from kernel point of view...
