I just ordered some new hardware for our new Oracle (9i) database server. The RAID controller is an HP Smart Array 6404. I was planning to run SLES9 x86-64 on this box, until I ran into one small snag: I don't see any drivers for the SA-6404 for SLES9 yet! I see SLES8 drivers in both x86 and x86-64 flavors, and SLES9 drivers for the internal SA-5i controller, but not one driver for the SA-640x on SLES9. Has anyone installed SLES9 on a box with a SA-640x on it? What driver did you use? Does SLES9 support this controller out of the box, or do I need to wait for HP drivers? If I can't get a driver for this card, I will either have to run SLES8 or RHEL3 AS; neither option I much care for. -- Cameron Thorne
