Shaun,
I know that does sound goofy but just follow the instructions. You will install the software raid when you create your partitions during the red hat installation.
Once you get that up and running you will then connect using your RHN access priviliges when you register your RH distribution. You will then be able to downoad the new kernal version and pray that it works.......LOL
Good Luck Shaun !

This may sound like a stupid question... But if our goal is to build a computer, create the hardware RAID, and then install RedHat 8.0, how are we supposed to download the new kernel, apply the patch, make xconfig and build the new kernel, if we haven't got linux installed on the new hardware yet?
kind of a catch 22 isn't it?

Cool!
You are using this combination?
Humm,... that files are exactly the same i build to install my RH8.
But, ... I actually use the 2.4.19-ac4 kernel. (I tested lot of kernels but only this boots correctly by the moment with the gpl driver)
If you what to use the High Point driver all kernels with the GPL hpt suppor disabled will work.
Note that you have a new version of the HighPoint driver at their home page.

I see some SUSE links on the URL..... but it's not totally clear to me
where the SUSE stuff ends, and the REDHAT stuff starts...?
I included a link to someone's SUSE/HPT how to but i didn't do / explain something about this.
Note that at the start of the "http://www.terra.es/personal2/capullator"; document i say that: "http://www.bandaancha.st/documentos.php?docid=56"; is the new version of the document, the old one is really un readable :P.
In the 1st half goes the spanish version and in the 2nd half the english one.
In "http://www.terra.es/personal2/capullator"; goes some "Documentation updates" of the documentation included in the binaries:
http://www.bandaancha.st/deposito/descargas/install_redhat8_hpt372.tgz
and:
http://www.bandaancha.st/deposito/descargas/install_mandrake9_hpt372.tgz
That files where unchanged between the "1st release" due to a mirror problem.
I repeat you need some updated (and ordered documentation) go here: http://www.bandaancha.st/documentos.php?docid=56
would love to get this going. Are you using ext2 or ext3?
ext3
The initrd of this files works with ext3 only you must modify the "linuxrc" inside if you use another format.
(Sorry Shaun i'm re-sending this to the list)
