Our Dell 4300, plus raid card, works okay with a 2.2.14
kernel, which has a version 107 megaraid.o module. This
is many versions behind the version present in 2.4.3. More
recent driver modules for the card hand on booting, thus this
problem report.
The module source does not indicate a recent contact person for
discussing the module, all of the updates since 1998 are unsigned.
Advise?

Chances are you have downrev firmware on your PERC 2/SC card, and there
should be some messages printed on the console when the megaraid driver
tries to load, telling you to update your firmware, and hangs the system
at that point (else data corruption could ensue).
In any case, please see http://domsch.com/linux for an easy link to recent
firmware, and you should be set.
Thanks,
Matt
