There's really nothing to it. I seriously doubt that being single
channel or dual channel has anything to do with it at all.

If you want megaraid.ko from 2.6.9-11EL-i686, 2.6.9-11EL-i586 and
2.6.9-11ELsmp-i686 I could probably upload them somewhere for you to
download but the process is quite simple and you really need to get it
down so you don't rely upon others every time the kernel updates.

If you put them on a vfat floppy, they work.

The issue really is, you need an install already functioning to install
the matching kernel-devel to build the modules.
