Hi Everyone,
I am completely new to Linux, and I am looking to install slitaz base on a server rack that I recently obtained. The rack uses two SCSI drives in a Raid 0 setup, controlled by a hp 6i raid controller, so I understand that I have to put the CCISS module into the kernal correct?
If so, the question now becomes, how exactly do I do that? I tried reading the handbook, but I am utterly lost and confused when I tried following their directions. Can someone attempt to walk me through how to do it? I can boot onto a USB thumbdrive just fine, so that is what I am using in the interrim.
Anyways, thanks ahead of time for any help.

You will have to configure/compile the kernel with in-kernel support for the hardware controller attached to your boot drive.
Boot the hardware with a linux livecd,in terminal run lspci -nn > hardware.txt
Use the pci.id in the square brackets at the end of the hardware info line in hardware.txt to look up the correct drivers to compile into the kernel here : http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/
Example: the pci.id info for my drive controller is in bold:
00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [IDE mode] [1002:4390]
Guide to configure/compile slitaz kernel:

Thanks mojo. I am currently running the base version on a USB thumbdrive that I boot into. Will that be considered a livecd? Or do I need to physically burn a CD and put that in.

To get the info required from lspci command with base requires installing pciutils and pciids tazpkgs
If base is connected to internet:
#tazpkg get-install pciutils
Will auto-install depends pciids
Not internet connected:
Install both
