Just received our new Gateway (ALR) 8200 series server this week.  Aside from Federal Express puting a fork lift through the bottom of the box and ripping the pull rails off the hot swap power supply it's a nice box.  Dual PentiumII 450MHz, 128MB RAM and ADAC RAID card driving 4 9.1GB SCSI drives in a RAID5 setup. 
 
Red Hat v6.0 installed like a champ: RAID, SMP and recovered from me choosing the wrong monitor for the X configuration.   Nice stuff.
 
We're converting from a PICK base OS to Linux as PICK as an operating system won't be supported come January 2000 (from what we've been told). 
 
After we placed the order our software developer/support company informed us that they don't support v6.x and require 5.2.
 
I tried to install 5.2 last night but it doesn't have the drivers for the ADAC RAID card.
 
Is there any way to locate the drivers from the 6.x CD and copy them to the floppy for a 5.2 install?  Also, since 5.2 doesn't do SMP as part of the install what can I do to get 5.2 to install with SMP as the default rather than having to learn how to recompile the kernel?
