Micron Netframe LV 2000 problems... RH7.1

So far - no traction on Redhat Seawolf list so I'll post this here too.

Distro is RH 7.1 

Micron PC Netframe LV 2000 server

MBD001094-00
Motherboard Model:      Intel R440LX
Form Factor:            ATX specification v.2.0
Expansion Slots:        (5) Five total slots; (4) Four PCI slots ; (1)
One
Shared PCI/ISA
Chipset:                Intel 440LX Chipset Intel 82443LX PAC, Intel
82371AB PIIX4
PCI/ISA IDE Xcelerator: 2 channels for 4 IDE device PIO Mode 0,; PIO
Mode 3 & PIO Mode 4; ATA-33
Super I/O Controller:   National* Super I/O 87307; (2) Two 16C550A UART
SCSI Subsystem: 
SCSI-3 Controller       (1) Integrated Adaptec 7880 Ultra-wide

Also has - and this is probably part of the problem

an Adaptec 1000 Family Raid Array Controller / dual channel

Install is good, but won't boot from hard drive. Boots from floppy.

I have 3 problems with this that I would like to fix.

1. Boot from hard drive

2. Be able to use hardware RAID - I set it up with software RAID because
it listed both hard drives and it shouldn't have. I used the hardware
RAID with WinNT with no problem so I know that it works.

3. Use SMP - it is a dual processor. I would compile a kernel but it
won't work until I can boot from hard drive. I've already tried to
upgrade kernel  - rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.3.etc and as you will see from
/boot, it put the parts there, it created the modules but it didn't fix
lilo and it obviously still requires the old floppy to boot.

Anyway, I will include in this order...
/etc/lilo.conf
/var/log/dmesg
output of lspci
output of ls -l /boot

for those inclined to help me. My apologies to the uninterested for
sending a longer email.

Thanks

Craig
