| |
Hello...
The organization I do some work for purchased a rackmount server from Dell with the intent of running some webconferencing software under Linux. The salesman we had spoken to assured us that Linux fully supported the machine. <sarcasm> Yeah... Right... </sarcasm> :)
Now it seems I'm stuck with a PERCRAID 3 card that only has support in the form of a binary kernel module for kernel 2.2.14 (w/ redhat's patches). While the box runs fine with this kernel, I would definatly like to upgrade the kernel to something that doesn't have so many known flaws ;) The machine is already in use so switching raid cards isn't much of an option at this time.
A check of Dell's (rather horrible) support website only turns up the binary module mentioned above. Does anyone know anything about these PERCRAID 3 cards and if there is an opensource driver? or at least a binary module for a newer kernel?
Thanks for your time...
