install RHEL4.2 doesn't recognize RAID controller

[mailinglists]

Thank you for all your answers.

The problem is that RHEL4.2 is really required by the software editor as
a prerequisite.
They usualy work with IBM servers, that's why their never encountered
this problem.
But they gave me their agreement to use a DELL server, so I will look
for a solution with them.

For my personnal knowledge, can someone explain me how to build the
"driver disks" ?

thank you in advance
