Currently I have sound controls in both the indicator applet and the notification area applet. Does anyone know how I to hide the audio controls in the notification area?

During installation if the installer is unable to detect any disks it will present you a list of all the available drivers to select or you can select none of these. Once you select that it gives you a couple of options. One of them is to scan removable media for a driver.
Does anyone know what it's looking for? I've tried just putting the proper .ko file on a floppy in / as well as putting it in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/extras/
and a few other places but in the end I have to manually mount the removable media and load the module using insmod.
I just got a new server that has a brand new Areca 1880 Raid controller which the built in arcmsr module does not support. Areca has updated module source code available on the cd that came with the controller and their website. Using this I was able to install Ubuntu Server on the hardware by using my laptop to build the kernel module and loading it off a USB stick.
I then built the driver for the server kernel and updated initrd but when I reboot it doesn't even look like Grub is getting loaded. The only thing the system does is display a "_" in the upper left of the screen. I believe I'm seeing a Grub issue but combined with the RAID controller/module issues I'm not 100% positive on that. Does anyone know of any limitations with Areca controllers and Grub?
One weird hurdle that I ran across is that the server install cd uses the desktop kernel rather than the server kernel so you need to build the module twice.
