The SmartArray on Compaq and HP-servers are supported on LiveCDs even before
2004.0 came out and every version after that (including current). From both
2.4 and 2.6 kernel you can access the SmartArray. You don't even need to add
a boot option during the boot of the LiveCD (unless you want to boot a
2.6/smp kernel). You can access the "logical drives"
as /dev/discs/discx/partx
