Unfortunately, that would have been the smart thing to do, so I didn't do it. :( I ripped out all the old PATA drives and installed the SATA II drives, thinking that I could somehow get the driver installed during the Fedora 7 install. > > got the driver into Linux yet.

I managed to install a fourth drive in the case, so now I'm using a 20 GB PATA drive for the boot / OS drive. I then built the 1740 driver and inserted into the running kernel. The 1740 driver is definitely proprietary: Jul 8 20:11:28 blizzard kernel: rr174x: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. Jul 8 20:11:28 blizzard kernel: rr174x:0: RocketRAID 174x controller driver v1.02 (Jul 8 2007 20:10:02) That explains why it's not in the kernel - bastards. I wanted an inexpensive card, but didn't do enough research before hand. Oh well...
