Hi, I'm try to install a SL 6.0 or 6.1 64bits, on an AMD64 Server, and need add an RPM or a Image Disk, at the Install time, to can a see an Adaptec Raid embebed in the System Board. I can see the 4 SATA Disk, but the idea is work using the Raid from the Bios, and don't create a new "Software RAID"
I think that use the RPM is more easy that the Disk Image, because the Server have not a 3,5" Disk Driver... and try to emulate a floppy disk, may be too much. I don't now if I need to put the RPM file in a pendrive, or a cdrom, but the idea is have a chance to install the Driver before install the System and make the partitions. The Server is an Supermicro, 16CPM AMD Opteron, 16Gb Ram, 6 NIC all Intel NPU, and no driver problem, an the support give an ftp like this, ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/Adaptec_ICH9R/Linux/17718/ to downaload the Disk Image or RPM, whit the Drivers.
