Yep. Been there, seen it, got the postcard.
This mail is being sent from such a server.

Start by using the SmartStart CDs to configure the system -
mine actually reports that it is configured for Win2K,
but I don't care. It works anyway.


Just whack in the CDs.
Remember not to overwrite the small partition which Compaq
uses to store BIOS information.




If you would like to compile a kernel for yourself,
just compile in the relevant module, which is cpqarry

Also there are a couple of utilities for monitoring
the status of that RAID controller.
I've not found time  to have got them installed.
