SAS (Installer doesn't see hard-drives)

Hi,


I try to install SuSE Linux 10.1 on a Dell 2950.
The problem is, that the installer just doesn't see the hard-drives.
This is a system with two dual-cores and 4GB of RAM.
The heart of the problem is perhaps the LSILogic SAS 1068-IT (v6.6.0.2) controller (there's no RAID hardware).
By default, the installer loads the following modules:

Fusion MPT SCSI Host Driver
Fusion MPT SAS Host Driver


But there are other drivers, which seemed to me more appropriate:

LSI Logic MegaRAID
LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS
LSI Logic Management Module


The problem is, when I load the LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS module, it is rejected, saying:

Module not supported by Novell, setting U Taint flag.


Interestingly, with the delivered SuSE Enterprise Linux CD-ROM, I have no problems installing, but I also have only one month of updates.


Has anybody already had that problem?
Phil
