Subject: [gentoo-dev] RE: Problems with Dell Server
Date: Fri Jul 27 11:37:02 2001	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <OFCF57744B.46B1F58F-ON85256A96.005FCEF2@pitts.bayer.com> (raw)

After doing some poking around,
None of the modules (including megaraid) detect any hardware.
It appears that the embedded controller is a 7899 dual channel controller, that
can have one channel use hardware raid. The bios banner calls the controller a
"Power Edge Expandable 3/Si Bios 2.5-0". If I disable raid, the drives all show
up as individual drives on the 7899 channel A using the AIC7xxx controller.
Reading in the kernel source, a couple of the drivers (old an new AIC7xxx)
mention that then specifically don't work with the hardware raid controller, but
none of them say they do.  So, I can get the drives to work by disabling raid,
or moving to channel B, but I would like the hardware raid for speed.

Thanks!!


Joe DeRosa
