It is compiled in the kernel. However the kernel refuses to boot.
When I run the generic non-xen kernel, I see my drives as following:

Does anyone know why the drives come up as Adaptec, and not megaraid? The
drives are in hardware raid configuration.


Thanks again,

The driver for the raid controller is megaraid_mbox. If your OS is on 
the raid drive, then it's better to compile it into kernel.
