Re: [SLE] Installing SuSE 9.2 onto Adaptec HostRaid
Hi, I just received some IBM x346 and I have the same problem. Once I enabled HostRaid I cannot install or run SuSE 9.2. I went to the IBM site, to the Adaptec site as well as the SuSE site and I did not find drivers specifically for SuSE 9.2 Pro, I did however find drivers for SLES 9. Will these work for SuSE 9.2 Pro? If not, is there a solution for this problem? Can anybody help!!! Clemente On Tuesday 22 February 2005 11:18, Dirk.Laurenz@fujitsu-siemens.com wrote:
Hi,
there're drivers for hostraid. You can download them from the adaptec site. They aren't opensource and therefor not part of the kernel distribution. This is the problem you have, not a bug.

Hi, I just received some IBM eSeries x346 and I have a problem. I installed SuSE 9.2 Pro and everything was fine until I "enabled HostRaid". Once I enabled HostRaid the SuSE Linux did not recognise the disks and did not boot. I then tried to re-install and the instalation process also did not recognise the discs. After a bit of research I found out that I needed a special driver for the Adaptec HostRaid (a320raid). I went to the IBM site as well as to the Adaptec site and I did not find drivers specifically for SuSE 9.2 Pro (there are however drivers for Suse 9.0 Pro, SLES 9 and SLES 9 SP1). Is there a solution for my problem? Can anybody help!!! Clemente

That's because the drivers are written for the 2.4 kernel and have not been ported to the 2.6 kernel. I have an LSI ATA100 on board controller that I had problems getting to work under 2.4 and will -not- be supported under 2.6. Bummer. All you can probably do at this point is keep hounding Adaptec/IBM to port the driver to the 2.6 kernel and hope for the best. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

There are drivers for the 2.6 Kernel. SLES 9 includes the 2.6 kernel and Adaptec has release a driver for SLES 9. But will the driver built for SLES 9 work on Suse 9.2? How do I get it to work? Clemente
