This is the one I'm finally stuck on.  Is there such a rpm package as 
kernel-source-2.4.21-15.ELBOOT?  I've tried using 
kernel-source-2.4.21-15.EL.i386.rpm and modifying Makefile's EXTRAVERSION to 
-15.ELBOOT, then copied configs/kernel-2.4.21-i686.config to .config in 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.  Ran make oldconfig and make dep then compiling the 
hpt372 driver again.

When using this driver during install it fails to insert due to unresolved 
symbols.
