Highpoint 372 Redhat 8 RAID Help


I'm hoping that someone out there in the community can give me a straight answer regarding this. I've asked around, and most of what I've gotten is bits and pieces of answers. Heres my configuration:

Redhat Linux 8.0 w/all current updates
Kernel Version: 2.4.18-27.8.0 i686
Highpoint 372 Onboard RAID (Running RAID 1)

Alright here's my situation, I have a good 79 gigs of video editing work packed onto an 80 Gig RAID 1 mirror. I've downloaded the drivers from Highpoint-tech's website and compiled them for my particular kernel version. I can modprobe them fine with the exception of a warning telling me I'm tainting the kernel by installing non-gpl stuff.

My problem is that I'm not sure where to go from here. Everyone says just mount the device now, well I dont know what its called! The only result I get from dmesg is this:

Found Controller: HPT372UDMA/ATA RAID Controller
scsi1: hpt37x2

Vendor: HPT Inc. Model: HPT37x2 RAID 1 Rev: 1.05
Type: Direct Access ANSI Scsi revision: 02

I've tried just mounting random devices from my /dev/ directory just to get a message saying my device cant be located in my /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Ive done as much reading as I can not to much luck. If someone could help me out with what to do now it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One thing I forgot to mention, the RAID I am trying to mount is an NTFS one. I've done a bit more reading and I believe I need to upgrade my kernel again.
