Had a similar annoyance with an ACER server, they only provided the
binaries for RedHat kernels and the controller was software raid. So
I disabled the raid controller on the machine and went with the stock SW
raid kernel driver (and debian).

But VMWare provided source for their modules in the old days and it could
compile these at installation if the current kernel wasn't supported. No
experience with GSX though.
