Can't install on PowerEdge 1650 with PERC3/Di

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1650 with a PERC3/DI that has a RAID5 container sat up.

I am trying to install Slackware 10.2 on. So far I have tried adaptec.s, scsi.s, scsi2.s, scsi3.s kernels with no luck. The system boots but cfdisk simply doesn't find the RAID.

I know I need AACRAID driver for this but I can't figure out if any of the supplied kernel images have it. If not, where can I find a boot disk with AACRAID built in?

After further investigation, it seems that I will have to create my own Slackware boot disk image. Are there any how-to's on it?

For now I am going to just try replacing vmlinuz file in one of the exiting boot images.
