For Centos4.4 I've got the 586 and 686 drivers on 2 floppies so far -
recipe follows... Hope this helps someone.
I'll try this on my HP and Acer, neither of which will install without
intervention. I'll post part 2 of the recipe if it works out.
# recipe part 1 - make the driver disks using

# then copy megaraid.ko to a floppy and label it megaraid-686
mformat a:
mount /media/floppy
cp /usr/src/megaraid.ko /media/floppy
umount /media/floppy
#
# Take the floppies to the scsi system and follow recipe part 2
# I'll post that if it works out.
