Dell PE2950-III PERC6/i RAID support
Does anyone know if the PERC6/i or PERC5/i SAS/SATA raid controller is supported in Slackware 12.1?
A year or two ago we successfully built the kernel on our PE2850 with support for the PERC4/i RAID controller with CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID2=y I am looking to purchase some more servers(PE2950-III) but would like to know what is the highest version of the PERC raid cards will be supported. I'd hate to spend the money to find I cant use it. :o |
Anyone?
:study:
I've looked around and still not found out if there is kernel support for the PERC5 or 6. Is anyone running linux on a dell with a perc 5 or 6 card with SATA drives? |
For others who need the info. The PERC5 is supported in kernel 2.6. When you boot from the Slackware CD/DVD, start by booting the huge26.s kernel, and install that as the boot kernel as well (initially)
Code:
boot: huge26.s -Nite |
