Abit RAID 0 not recognized

[Nethaniel St. Donovan]

Ok more caffeine and the Manual now. The Raid device built into my
motherboard is a Highpoint-Tech.com product with linux drivers for redhat. I
am sorry for my ignorance but how do I install a driver if it's the anaconda
installer that is not seeing the RAID. I burned the ISO to CD for disks 1-4.
What do I need to modify in order to add the driver to the install so
anaconda can use it?
