Linux on ML530 G2 with SA642

Hi,

We ordered a Proliant ML 530 G2 with
2x 2.4 Xeon Processor
1.5 GB memory
Smart Array 642 Controller
5 x 145 GB Hotswap SCSI HDD configured 2 x hdd raid 1 and 3 x hdd raid 5
We have tried to install Windows 2000 Server - no problem found.
We have tried to install Linux 7.2 we encountered this error:
"compaq ciss driver(2.4.6) /lib/csiss.o init - module - no such device."
and there are many errors after this but it only pertains to this first error.
we have created a downloadable .dd file and extracted this to diskette using rawrite of linux cd.
cpq_cciss-2.4.46-rh7.2.dd.gz - this is the dd file in compaq website: http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/19229.html - this is the driver that we are using to install the linux.

Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks,
elmer
