At I guess I would be thinking that what happens is more that Fedora can somehow
detect that the module is for the kernel in RH9 and therefore ignores it. I
suspect if this test could be turned off there would be a reasonable chance
that the interfaces the module relies on hadn't changed and everything would be
fine... there'd possibly also be a chance that everything would go horribly
wrong though.

That'll have to wait till I get Broadband, :), which won't be too long.

I think a RAID I'm only really running for fun isn't really worth it if it means
my kernel is frozen potentially forever... still it'd be a lot of stuffing
around to go back to a non-RAID setup.

Nope. This is all I've got:

Is it possible there's a generic open source version out there?

Maybe if I asked Gigabyte nicely :)
