I'm intalling FC3 on a gateway P3 that has a LSI MegaRaid 493 Raid controller installed. The system has a Problem with the MegaRaid 493 not seeing the Disks attached to it. There are six disks attached to the Raid Controller, setup in a Raid 5 configuration.
The system sees and load the MegaRaid drivers but doesn't seem to see the drive (Raid-5). Anyone have an idea why it doesn't see the drive?
I saw something similar, and I could see the drives if I booted the machine, then connected the fibre channel cable and loaded the drivers with modprobe. If I booted the machine with the drives attached, I would not be able to see the drives at all. The problem was the raid drive was setup for Point-to-Point Only, and not FC-AL.
I looked at LSI's website and did not see a Megaraid 493, but did find it with a Google search.
Some things you can try are to do an fdisk -l to see if it sees any /dev/sdX devices. You might also have to create your device files with mknod or MAKDEV. Try an lsmod and make sure scsi_mod and sd_mod are loaded.
