That's is a pretty non-standard distribution media for free software
source code.  Unless you can find a URL to something more standard,
preferably a tarball, I don't think I can help you.  I've looked
around IBM's website, and done a variety of google searches to try to
find an official distribution point for this driver that I can use in
a GAR package.  It appears to me that the only distribution point
outside of that ISO image is the source that's distributed with the
kernel.

bug#411: Fw: bug#411: New kernel

Nate,
You may be correct about only seeing the release of the IPS driver in the
kernel.  We were following IBM's instructions to copy  ips.c and ips.h from
their ServRAID support CD into /usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi and rebuild
the kernel.  That has been working for us the last year and a half as we
moved from RH 7.3 to RH 9.0 using the updated ServRAID code.

I am sure that I am showing my ignorance of the whole process, but why could
you not do the same?  If that is not a possibility, are you aware of some
way I can create a bootable CD that can be used to restore the entire system
in the event of a hard drive failure.   Thanks for looking into this.
