Very likely they will not install. Drivers are kernel-specific, so a different kernel version usually requires a different driver and Promise does not give out source code. It is a VERY BAD policy to use proprietary drivers that cannot even handle a switrch to dual processors. Use the extra IDE interfaces as IDE interfaces and use linux software RAID instead. http://www.geocities.com/civileme/raiddoc.html explains how and why. Civileme
