[Sat, 07 Feb 2004 17:02:26 -0500]: Does anyone have knowledge of the sources for this driver and if so where I might be able do download them? The closest I have been able to find is for the megaraid controller -not- the ideraid controller. I have emailed a request to LSI but have not had a reply, same for HP.
This driver is closed source, i.e. it's *only* available in binary form.

After contacting LSI Logic tech support I was supplied with the source code which I have compiled, with the help of Anders Johansson, for the 2.4 kernels, default and smp. I further contacted tech support for inclusion of the sources into the kernel tree and was told that they are open and can be included. The correct controller is a Ultra ATA 100 IDE raid controller, (as used in the HP proliant ML330), by LSI Logic Corp. as can be seen by the beginning of the source files: /*megaide_ata.c*/ /* * Linux MegaRAID IDEal Software RAID Stack * Copyright (c) 2003 LSI Logic Corporation *----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
