Compaq Prosignia 200 uses TI TLAN ethernet controller which has built-in support starting from kernel 2.0.34. Other Compaq servers most probably use AMD PCnet32 ethernet controller which uses the lance32 driver. Also, normal Compaq SCSI controllers use NCR 53c8xx chips which are well supported in kernel 2.0.34. But I am not sure about Compaq RAID controllers. Maybe you can boot up using the latest kernel, 2.0.34, and then "more /proc/pci" to see what devices are detected and then search for the specific drivers.
