Re: MegaRAID under 2.2
I've been trying to run the install for Debian potato (frozen) on a Dell PowerEdge 4400, but it won't recognize the installed Dell PERC2/DC (AMI MegaRAID) controller. Oddly enough, I've been able to get this to boot from the base slink install (2.0.36), but am unable to get this to work when I try to use potato or upgrade the kernel to 2.2.x, after recompiling in megaraid support. I tried booting it from the slink CD on a whim; I didn't actually expect it to work. Unfortunately, I need 2.2.x for Lotus Domino and SMP support, so leaving it at 2.0.36 is not an option, as appealing as that may seem. -- Hecubus

It is required for this controler to work. -- Jean-Philippe Guérard

I've even gone so far as to recompile my own kernel and configure it onto the rescue disk, but to no avail. It boots - listing nothing under the megaraid kernel prompt - and denies the existance of a fixed disk when an attempt is made to partition. The RAID is configured and DOS recognizes the logical partition without the use of anything special. Any hints? Condolences?
