Hmm.. I didn't get any responses on this, but I've made some progress, so I figured I'd respond to myself in case anyone else makes the same foolish mistakes I did. Anyway, it turns out that the Raid controller in my Netserver was actually a Mylex DAC960pl. So, I visited mylex.com, downloaded the firmware and updated it to 2.73. The HPDA configuration utility I downloaded from HP earlier seemed to be able to build a successfull logical drive, so I didn't try to do that again (but I apparently can using a utility from mylex). Anyway, I found a website at http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/DAC960.html which seems to have the answers. Although the RedHat install has some sort of driver for Mylex DAC960s, I couldn't get it to load. So, I'm going to try to recompile the kernel and see where that gets me.
