NOTE. There is no built-in driver for Integrated SAS hardware RAID in the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 EM64T. You need an external USB floppy drive for
applying driver during the OS installation.

integrated SAS hardware RAID, you need to make a driver diskette from
the EasyBUILD first before the installation.

Follow the instruction to load the integrated SAS hardware RAID driver
from the driver diskette.
