Megaraid scsi controller card
i have a megaraid scsi raid controller card. i powered down my system and put the card in and powered back up. upon booting up kudzu found the card and configured it. when i went into the operating system i could see the card in the hardware browser. but when i try to get to the external hard drives connected to the card i cant. i try to use the tool to configure the drives it says, /dev/megaraid0 driver not found.
i read there documentation on how to install the driver. i tried it and at the end u have to re-compile the kernel. i tried to do that but keep getting pci driver errors. i am lost and dont know what to do. has anybody else had these problems?
i am running red hat 8.0 kernel 2.4.14-18.

What SCSI card are you using? It probably has a BIOS-type interface that you can use to define logical and physical drives, as opposed to doing this in Linux.

SCSI disks are labeled /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc. Each letter should represent a corresponding logical drive that you've configured in the RAID Adapter's BIOS. Run 'fdisk /dev/sda' and see if you are able to connect to this SCSI Disk device to create, view, or modify the partition structure.
Note: Do not use /dev/md0 (MultiDisk0) devices. These devices are for software RAID/mirroring, and you are using hardware RAID.
