I think the FC3 megaraid driver works well, but I can't tell you for
certain.  Keep in mind that drivers such as that one are built against
the kernel and use versioning so the megaraid driver built for the
2.6.5 kernel works ONLY with the 2.6.5 kernel.  The odds are that it
won't work with the kernel installed with FC3 (2.6.9-1.667) even if you
did make a driver disk for it.
