RocketRAID 1740 driver for Fedora 7

[Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu]

Hello Everyone,

I have a rocketraid 1740 controller that I want to use in a soon to be
installed Fedora 7 system.  Highpoint's website doesn't have any Fedora
7 drivers, but they do provide a package that will let end users build
the rr1740x module for any 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel.

How would one build the rr1740x module for Fedora 7 if one doesn't have
a Fedora 7 system to build the driver on?  Can I install the
kernel-devel package from Fedora 7 on a Fedora 6 host, and build the
module that way?  Should I use a Fedora 7 virtual machine (e.g. vmware,
xen, etc.)?

Regards,

Ranbir
