LSI MegaRAID ATA driver (COMPAQ Proliant DL-320 G2)

[Pedro Requejo]

Hello,

I purchase a COMPAQ DL-320 G2. I've installed Redhat 7.3 with a driver disk
supplied by COMPAQ, that contains the binary of LSI MegaRAID ATA controller
driver, without problems.

Well... Now, I need to upgrade and rebuild the kernel (2.4.18 to 2.4.20)
but, I haven't got the source code of the LSI MegaRAID ATA controller.

Can anybody help me?

Best Regards,

Shouldn't that more or less be the same as the LSI MegaRaid SCSI driver.
Both adapters are based on the same BIOS design.

I'm pretty sure, that it should work on the default MegaRaid module (SCSI
low-level drivers).

Hello,

I'm just try to boot a kernel with a default AMI MegaRaid support (SCSI
low-level driver), but cannot mount the root filesystem :-(

This controller is very newer than AMI MegaRaid. By default, any kernel
can't recognize this controller. Need a patch. :-(

¿Does anybody have a COMPAQ Proliant DL-320 G2 or ML-310 or ML-330 ATA
version with linux running???

Thanks.

That's right, the source for this software stack is not released under GPL.
We do release the RPM packages to update driver. This is true for the stock
kernels only. It is not possible to use the RPM for all (or individually
compiled) kernels

No, these are separate drivers, at least as of now.

Or last time I checked you can load the CMD IDE driver just use the
standard kernel software raid instead of the AMI one.
