Is this Pick from Pick Systems? I helped someone get it installed on a
6.0 box just recently. Their installation program is a bit buggy and
didn't like using device names like /dev/rd/c0d0p6 (mylex RAID). It also
didn't seem to be able to calculate the size of the device properly.

You might find a kernel RPM...but why not just recompile? BTW...Pick say
they don't support SMP either...but you may find it works.
