Hello list, I'm trying to install OpenSuSE 10.2 on an oldish Dell PowerEdge 1300, fitted with a PERC 2/SC RAID controller.
According to the documentation I found on the web, the PERC 2/SC requires the "megaraid_legacy" driver. That driver doesn't seem to be provided in OpenSuSE any longer (please correct me if I'm wrong). I already tried using the newer "megaraid" driver, but this one is meant for PERC 3/PERC 4 controllers and hangs during modprobe against a PERC 2. I'm familiar with the procedure of compiling a custom kernel / custom modules on a separate machine to generate the driver I need from sources, but could you please tell me what the easiest procedure is to then have the Yast installer use this extra module (and integrate it in the installed system/initrd -- the machine needs to eventually boot off the RAID array) ? Please also note that the Dell server doesn't have a floppy unit. It has USB ports, though, and a NIC of course. Any help would be appreciated. TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.
