The README files says: "The install script will install the hpahcisr loadable object modules into the /lib/modules directory for each kernel for which a driver object module is present in this package and exists on the system. Then it will make a new initrd (initial RAM disk) image for the running kernel, if a driver for the running kernel was installed. Then, it will update the LILO or GRUB configuration, as directed, adding a new entry to use the new initrd image. If there were already hpahcisr loadable object modules present in the kernel libraries, these will be backed up under /use/src/HP/driver_backup." "driver object module is present in this package" => $ find . | grep ko | awk -F/ ' { print $4 } ' | sort ... 2.6.18-194.el5 2.6.18-194.el5PAE 2.6.18-194.el5xen ... Maybe run once more the install script but, if your kernel version is not listed, I do not know if it will help... Or, maybe you could copy the module in /lib/modules/... and make the initrd by hand and hope it works... Or just disable the "fake" hardware RAID and use software RAID (I am afraid of cheap raid)...
