Alle,

	I am trying to install CentOS 5 on a Dual Xeon 5160 FJ RX200 S3. The 
RAID hardware is an internal LSI MPT 1068 SAS/RAID controller (LSI 
1068SASIME-2300). I have downloaded the drivers (mptsas, mptscsih and 
mptbase) and created the required floppy.
	When I run linux dd after booting from either the DVD or Disk 1 of the 
CentOS distro, it says it loads mptsas, mptbase and mptscsih and then 
comes up with "No drivers of the appropriate type were found", etc... 
Consequently, the RAID device is not found and no disks are available 
for installation.
	When I do this with RHEL5 Disk 1, the drivers load correctly and there 
is no problem.
	I went to the LSI Logic site to download the drivers directly from 
there, but they apparently don't support RHEL5 as of yet for the LSISAS1068.
	Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Camron
