kernel module for 2950 sata raid?

[eclark]

I just got brand new rhes4 cds from RH Friday, and they will not boot the 
server at all in rescue mode. This is true for both the 860 and 2950. I 
havent tried it in full install mode, but it certainly doesnt have the 
modules neccesary to boot these servers in rescue, thats for sure.
