[gentoo-user] RAID controller

Hi All,

I am thinking of installing Gentoo on a Dell box with this RAID controller:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapter1.htm

Has anyone got experience with this hardware?  What will I need to include in 
the kernel?  Will I need any fancy firmware/drivers?

You can use megaraid driver for Perc5.

Device Driver -> SCSI device support -> SCSI low-level drivers

    [*]   LSI Logic New Generation RAID Device Drivers 

   │ │                              < >     LSI Logic Management Module 
(New Driver)
   │ │                              <*>   LSI Logic Legacy MegaRAID 
Driver
   │ │                              <*>   LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS RAID 
Module

This is my controller

linux # lspci  | grep -i scsi
01:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E 
PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)

I have a 2950 II.
