Re: Problem updating megaraid_sas

linux.dell.com/dkms/ You could use dkms to build and install the Dell megaraid_sas driver. Read the docs, really. It works well, but try not to rely on it working without paying attention. If something goes wrong, the initrd may not build correctly and the system won't boot. I usually c

Re: Problem updating megaraid_sas

I have not heard any thing yet and want to get this server back on line. Do I need to bother upgrading megaraid_sas? If I use the xen kernel that I'm planning on it is version 00.00.03.01. I suspect if I modify the definition of struct scsi_cmnd it would build but also suspect would have to rebu
