Thanks everyone who responded... I actually used 
"insmod -f" to force the module to be loaded.  It works... even though it 
says my kernel is tainted.  But at least I can wait until Highpoint gets 
around to release the new "hpt37x2lib.o" file that is compiled with gcc 
3.2

  Hello Jeff and other interested 
  parties
  in the link you see that sharky has a binary that 
  is patched 
  to look like it was compiled with gcc 3.2 

  My  Redhat 8.0 installation is running now

    Just installed Red hat 8.0 and I've got stuck 
    getting my HPT370/370A card up and running.  I tried to recompile their 
    driver but I've run into a problem... you see their source file has an 
    object file in it.  And this object file seems to have been compile 
    with gcc 2.x.  this is a problem because the 8.0 kernel was compiled 
    with gcc 3.2 and it won't allow modules to be loaded into the kernel that 
    have been compiled with the older gcc.  So... I need the "hpt37x2lib.o" 
    file compiled with the gcc 3.2 or I need the source and make file so I can 
    do it myself... or does anyone know another solution?  Any help would 
    be appreciated.  I'll be calling Highpoint monday morning... and if 
    anyone else has this problem or already got the solution let me 
    know!!!
