I already have kernel-devel installed, what I don't understand is that in the forum
(see below) it says that "yum install kernel-sourcecode" should do the trick in
centOS 4.0. Shouldn't it also work in 4.2 or have that changed?

To all:
Yes, this should work for CentOS 4.0.
First, install kernel sources.
$ yum install kernel-sourcecode <----- this doesn't work for me in 4.2
This will also create the path /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL which is needed.
Next you will have to properly setup the kernel headers.
$ cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
$ make mrproper
$ cp /boot/config-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL .config
$ make bzImage
The last step will setup all the linking and headers correctly so that the hptxxx
code will make properly.
$ cd /to/your/highpoint/source/path
$ make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL RR154X=0
and it should make properly with a few warnings. Follow the highpoint readme
instructions after that.
I have not tested the driver, but it does make.
Good luck
