Hi Group,

I have a Hightpoint RocketRAID 133 raid card that I am trying to 
install.  I downloaded the driver from their website and I have to 
configure it with the kernel source.

make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.4-52-default   [from their readme file]

To get my kernel source as I know it is no longer part of the default 
install I did the following commands.
up2date --get-source kernel
rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.12-1-1381_FC3.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target=i586 kernel-2.6.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.12/linux-2.6.12/configs
cp kernel-2.6.12-i586.config ./.config
cd ..
make oldconfig

At this point I am lost.  Where do I tell highpoint where my kernel 
source is?

I tried this:
make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.12/linux-2.6.12
but I just got a lot of errors.

Has anyone used this card and can get me an idea on what I need to do.
Thanks,
Mark.
