Has anyone  compiled a viable driver for a 3ware 9000 Escalade controller on CentOS-2 from source?

Appreciate tips on getting this to work.

Ive already dealt with the following pitfalls:
kernel .config: setting "INCLUDE_MODVERSIONS=y"(for all versions)

3w-9xxx.c: adding "#include <linux/init.h>"

3w-9xxx.h: deleting the highmem.io line

Attemping to use the "Build-3w-driver.pl" script from 3ware and then copying contents of /home/build/disk to a floppy does not create a recognized driver disk for the CentOS-2 installer(in expert mode).

thx,

Scott
