After doing some poking around, |
| 2 |
None of the modules (including megaraid) detect any hardware. |
| 3 |
It appears that the embedded controller is a 7899 dual channel controller, that |
| 4 |
can have one channel use hardware raid. The bios banner calls the controller a |
| 5 |
"Power Edge Expandable 3/Si Bios 2.5-0". If I disable raid, the drives all show |
| 6 |
up as individual drives on the 7899 channel A using the AIC7xxx controller. |
| 7 |
Reading in the kernel source, a couple of the drivers (old an new AIC7xxx) |
| 8 |
mention that then specifically don't work with the hardware raid controller, but |
| 9 |
none of them say they do. So, I can get the drives to work by disabling raid, |
| 10 |
or moving to channel B, but I would like the hardware raid for speed. |
