I need to install CentOS 5.2 on a IBM Server xSeries 226, which comes
with a IBM SERVERAID 6i RAID card. I think it is not a true hardware
RAID card. I has, nevertheless, an interesting feature: 128MB of cache
with battery backup.
I launched the CentOS boot DVD and CentOS correctly identifi

It's a real raid adapter and the linux kernel is able to handle it
with the standard ips module
I found some references in Google that seemed to indicate a "fakeraid"
controller, one that depends on the driver to do the RAID calculations...
It's always up to you to decide but i'd prefer usi

Faultdetection sucks with that, but you can use ipmitool for that:

I've installed RHEL 4 on several IBM eSeries servers with ServeRaid

tell you that they are having problems until it is too late. My
suggestion is to use Linux software for your RAID array, and bypass the

Are you referring to the SATA controllers or to the SCSI ones?
