I recently installed FC2 on a new system containing the
following hardware:
Intel Pentium4
Supermicro P4SCi mainboard
3ware S9500-8 raid controller
4x WD sata drives 250GB connected to raid
controller
1x WD sata drive connected to maind board (boot
disk)
I'm a Linux dummie and can't get my raid controllor
installed. Is
there anybody who wants to help me ?
Alexander already
told me that the driver for red hat 9.0 on the cdrom that came with my
controller isn't compatible with FC2.
He also told me that
an update to the most recent kernel of FC2 should work because it has the needed
kernel module.
After some manipulations in
the yum config file i was able to update to kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp
But i stil see no raid
controller.
When I choose "hardware
browser" from the system tools menu and click on RAID devices in the list
on the left i get the following info:
Selected
Device: 3wara ATA-RAID
Device
information:
Manufacturer: 3ware
Inc.
Driver: 3w-xxxx
I expected 3w-9xxx
because the manual of the controller says 3w-xxxx is for series
7000/8000
when I type fdisk -l in an
attempt to see a device to partition all i get are the 3 partitions on my boot
disk attached to the main board: /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
/dev/sda3
when I type cat
/proc/scsi/3w-9xxx/0 which according to the manual of the controller should give
the current version of the driver i get : No such file or
directory
when i go to the /proc/scsi
directory and type ls -l there is only one file called sg
Is there anybody who can
help me out ???
