VectorLinux default install won't recognize the RAID. is there some way i can just download the linux kernel module for this hardware and insmod it in there so the installation will successfully find the RAID? If so, where can i find the kernel module (or any kernel module for that matter... i just know they exist, no idea where to look). If not, is there a way to ninja a larger kernel into the install and burn a new iso with everything the same except the kernel? will that work? or am i totally off...? edit: please do not recommend alternate distros unless they are slackware/linux based... and redhat/mandrake don't count... and certainly do not recommend alternate hardware. waste of your time and my thread.
