check /boot/config-2.4.18 to be sure its there.. for 2.2.19 it would
look like:
CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA=y

it may also have(or need instead)
# CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set

(those may be needed to set to Y depending on the kind of
raid controller) in this DL380 it has:

00:01.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly NCR):
Unknown device 0010 (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation: Unknown device 4040
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 192, IRQ 19
	I/O ports at 2000
	Memory at c6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
	Memory at c5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

keep the old kernel ready in lilo.conf just incase the new one doesn't
work.
