I installed the 2.4.18-686-SMP prepackaged kernel and it went without a hitch. The only thing to watch out for is to be sure to edit lilo.conf to add the initrd=/initrd.img directive to the default lilo stanza so that the install will add the proper initrd boot files and symlinks. I don't know about the Compaq Array controller. I believe support for it is compiled in the compact kernels, but I don't know if the prepackaged kernels are of the vanilla flavor or compact.
