Yes, I've running it with 2.4.22-2149.ntpl now, just install the kernel
and the kernel-source, in /usr/src make a link called linux that points
to the appropiate kernel, in the directory of the driver run "make
RR154X=0" (if you don't have sata, if you do just run make, if you have
athlon append ATHLON=1).
This produces hpt374.o, copy this to
/lib/modules/<kernel-ver>/kernel/drivers/ide/raid/
run mkinitrd /boot/initrd-<kernel-ver>.img <kernel-ver>
Edit lilo.conf/grub.conf and you should be all set...
