I am about to install a RH-8.0 server at a school that would like for me to use this RAID card. Based on the readme.txt file included with the driver source code, it looks like the standard 2.4.x linux kernel does not properly identify this card. So it would be nice if I could specify this driver during the install phase of RH-8.0. i.e. prior to running fdisk.
