As far as I can remember you couldn't compile the drive statically in the kernel - probably due to licensing issues. I should be possible to put into the '/boot' directory on a floppy and load it during the setup process (i.e. preload modules from floppy). > > The Controller used in the ProLiant ML330 series is an IDE-RAID and most > > of the logic is not done by the controller but by the driver itself. > > So performance will probably suck... > > My links refer to source to compile the drivers as a module. > It's gpl released. I just took a look at the files I got from LSI (who now own AMI) and the driver is half GPL, half proprietary. Quoting megaide-shimdriver-readme.txt: LSI Logic's Shim driver has its raid intelligence as binary file megaide_lib.o and the rest of the driver is open. megaide_lib.o can be build with the open source to get driver image megaide.o. best regards, Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415 \ System Consulting Fax: +43 316 428896 \ Web Development
