Hmm. My 2.6.11 stock kernel does not have the advansys module either.
Now that I recall, I had to compile the kernel for my laptop (it has the

Get the full source tarball and use the /boot/config file from the rpm
version. Then tweak it to include the advansys module. Then "make
modules" and "make modules_install".
