Hello, I've been trying to install gentoo on an AMD64, and so far I've |
| 2 |
gotten nearly everything running properly. However, I can't seem to get the |
| 3 |
proprietary drivers for the raid card to work. They compile, and seemed to |
| 4 |
get inserted fine with modprobe: |

However, when I try to install their command-line monitoring app which is |
| 21 |
only distributed by rpm, it installs half-fine with rpm --nodeps -Uvih |
| 22 |
hptsvr-3.13-3.x86_64.rpm: |

Can't detect any supported driver automatically. |
| 29 |
hptmv6 is used by default. |
| 30 |
Unknown distribution. HighPoint RAID Management Service will not |
| 31 |
be configured to start automatically. You need to configure it |
| 32 |
by yourself or start hptsvr manually. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Well, that's reasonable, but why does it not detect its driver is loaded? |
| 35 |
Okay. So I try to run the app: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
hptsvr |
| 38 |
Driver is not loaded. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I have no idea how to fix this. Anyone have experience? For what it's worth, |
| 41 |
I was thinking it might be that the kernel seems to be detecting the card as |
| 42 |
something else (or maybe this is another name for the highpoint card?): |
| 43 |

I have no idea why it won't work, though. Seems to me if it modprobes fine |
| 54 |
it should work on its own? The driver's installation notes mentioned it |
| 55 |
would be possible to build the kernel with the driver, so I did so and |
| 56 |
booted into the new kernel, but the result was exactly the same: |

lspci output remains the same. Anyone have ideas? |
