I have reported this to Linuxant support, but have yet to get a substantive 
response (they clearly have not tested 2.6.0 as you will see from the 
response you got from them earlier today).

If you install the modules by hand using modprobe, you will probably find it 
works (it does with me).  I have included the following in my 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local initiation file (your distribution may have rc.local in a 
different location):

KERNEL=$(uname -r | cut -b 1-4)
if [ $KERNEL = "2.6." ] ; then
/sbin/modprobe hsfpcibasic2
/sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ich
/sbin/modprobe hsfmc97via
/sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ali
fi

The reason for the test for kernel 2.6 is that the modules load correctly 
using 2.4 (so you don't need to load them by hand at boot time).

Does this work for you?
