Hi,
I recently tried to upgrade one Poweredge 650 with a ATA 100/4CH 
controller from Fedora Core 1 to FC 3. Latest BIOS/firmware is installed.

The system boots but tells me that there is no harddrive found to 
install, and I have to manually select a driver.
      

The megaraid_mbox driver in FC3 no longer supports the ATA 100/4Ch
card.  And the older 'megaraid' driver isn't built in FC3 gold (though
I believe it is built in errata or development FC kernels, for exactly
this reason).
    

I've got a FC3 driver disk for the "old" megaraid driver available at

http://www.iruntheinter.net/files/misc/megaraid-dd.zip

Unzip the contents to the root of a DOS formatted floppy.

The driver is included with the current FC3 errata kernels.
  

Only it has to be built to work with the 2.6.9 kernel, and probably gcc 3.3.3 to avoid unresolved symbols?
