I have a dell precision 380: http://catalog.us.dell.com/CS1/CS1Page2.aspx?br=6&c=us&cs=555&fm...
with an Intel Matrix Storage Manager ICH7R RAID Controller http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/cs-020663.htm
I need to get CentOS 3 installed on this thing but can't due to the fact that the controller is not supported in 2.4 kernels.
There is a patch available from http://iswraid.sourceforge.net/.
Question - Since the installer has the "wrong" kernel, how do I go about getting it installed with the patched kernel?
Is CentOS 4.1 an option? I'm not sure if the ICH7R is supported in the newer 2.6 kernels either, but that might be an option for you if you can't make CentOS 3.X work.
