Megaraid Driver IBM Blade Server

[Mike McGrath]

How do I do the FC3 install with a newer kernel than what is on the FC3
Install CD?  The only way I know how to add drivers during the install
is to run it with linux dd at the boot prompt.

Mike, I don't know the first thing about Megaraid or compiling kernels.

On the other hand I know that the kernel distributed on the FC3 install
CD is pretty out of date relative to the latest update version which is
something like 2.6.10-1.770 or 771.  Wouldn't you want to upgrade the
kernels and libraries to the latest stable versions before compiling?

FWIW
