a320raid !! Worked quite well on the install, but after a YOU kernel
update, the module was not merged into the version directory so I had to
boot to CD1 and start installed system. Then I reinstalled the original
kernel until I figure out how to fix this.
The driver disk was, of course, downloaded from Adaptec.

Of this I am all too well aware and is why I am trying to figure out a
fix, going forward. I don't want to have to reinstall the driver after
the fact, every time I update the kernel. `*8(
