Description: American Megatrends Megaraid 428 Ultra PCI RAID controller card. Came as standard equipment for various mid-range servers in the mid to late 90's. The card is a PCI card and is extremely long, so long that a support rail had to be built into many server cases for it. Near the center of the card is a daughterboard. There is a battery pack on the card as well.
Keywords: RAID AMI Netserver Megaraid
/sbin/lspci output: 00:07.0 Unknown mass storage controller: American Megatrends Inc. Megaraid 428 Ultra RAID controller (rev 03)

Upon installation it declared that it was loading the megaraid driver. However, an lspci reveals that the system does not understand what this hardware is. It is declared an unknown piece of hardware.

Any others with this hardware that have gotten it to work would be welcome to share their input.

I am running the card with FC5 though if you set it up as a HW raid drive it should look make your drives like a standard SCSI.

I am running this board without issues. What kernel are you running?
