What I'm finding is that the raid card is an Adaptec 2100S. Would all my problems go away if I get a new RAID card? If so, what model would people recommed.. I need one that is 1/2 size due to Mobo restrictions. -----Original Message----- From: Adam [mailto:adam at askewview.net] Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 9:35 AM To: pjcrump at bitstream.net Cc: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Drives Not Recognized on Dell Poweredge 1550 CentOs install Phillip, I've noticed that issue with older AMI MEGARAID controllers. LSI Logic bought AMI a while back and in subsequent driver releases support has been dropped for the AMI controllers. CentOS/Fedora will load the megaraid kernel module but it will not work with the AMI cards. -Adam Phillip Crump wrote: > I have a new (used)Dell Poweredge 1550 server with 2 scsi drives (dual 1ghz > w/ 2048MB) that I'm attempting to install CentOs 4 onto > and am having problems getting the darn thing to recognize the hard drives. > (it's worth noting that it's running RAID 0 and the RAID bios recognizes > both drives as being in "optimal" state).
