Thanks to everyone who responded.
The aacard driver patches that were in the Redhat pinstripe kernel SRPM
work fine with 2.2.17. The machine seems pretty stable and speed is about
the same as with the binary driver.
Thanks again...

Though I am concerned about the KNOWNBUGS file that was in the 1.0.3 patch
but was removed by the later version patches. It seems to indicate its a

As a matter of fact I already have such a kernel compiled but I need to be
there in person to make sure it doesn't blow up. :)

So does this mean that the driver currently in redhat's pinstripe beta
should be avoided on an production SMP system? Is sticking with 2.2.14
perferable right now? Anyone know how far along the adaptec guys are?
Thanks for your time...

The drivers for the percraid have adaptec copyrights and have been made
available finally but were too ugly at the moment to merge (and had some
obvious potentially nasty bugs like using down() on a spinlock

Hello...
The organization I do some work for purchased a rackmount server from
Dell with the intent of running some webconferencing software under
Linux. The salesman we had spoken to assured us that Linux fully
supported the machine. Yeah... Right... :)
Now it seems I'm stuck with a PERCR
