Heh. Yeah, this is why I try to avoid needing non-standard kernels to
boot with. The usual technique is to boot with the kernel and drivers
that work, and review the installer for the add-on kernel drivers to
see how to add it or compile it in for the new kernel, then run
"mkinitrd" to add the new drivers to the /boot/initrd-* file as
necessary.

Unfortunately, a lot of driver installers suck really hard. And
HighPoint seems to be one of the bad ones, I can say from previous
experience. Does the development or testing kernel for Fedora Core 7
work?
