Description of problem:
when i'm booting with cd 6.2 enterprise version, on a compaq proliant 
ML530, it can't load cciss drivers so before efining the partitions it 
shows a message that cannot detect storage device, because i'm in install 
mode i can't compile a new kernel with the patch file. i've tried to 
compile a new kernel with that patch and made an image on a floppy but it 
didn't work. I've tried the images on compaq website but it can only load 
the AIC7xxx modules. ver 7.1 is ok. so how i can find the proper modules 
for that raid?

7.asked for update disk and loaded the anaconda
8.after selecting the keyboard and mouse and type of install shows the 
message that can not detect the storage device.
9. the system hase got only one raid contorller and thats the only storage
10.i've tried the packages for updating the flash ROM but failed

imaged it on a floppy but it couldn't load it.
