Your problem is that the LSI driver in the 2.6 kernel does not include
the older megaraid devices.

Look here (and search for megaraid_mbox):

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/release-notes/as-x86/

I don't know if there is a driver that still works, but this device is
probably supported on CentOS-3.
