Sounds like you have a PercRaid 3i RAID controller. The Dell rackmount |
2 |
servers we have at work have such cards and they seem fairly common these |
3 |
days in Dell rackmounts. Vanilla Linux kernels do not contain support for |
4 |
these cards. Redhat 7.0+ has support for these cards out of the box which |
5 |
are refered to as aacraid cards. |

And an informative thread about how "clean" the drivers are considered to |
12 |
be by Alan Cox and co... :( |

But at least they seem to work well in the four or so Dell rackmount linux |
16 |
boxes we have here at work (a couple with custom compiles of 2.2.x, the |
17 |
other two with default redhat 7.1 kernels) |

Hope this helps... |
