It's a 3.3 volts 32-bit slot, just as the HBA likes it.. However, the problem seems to be the Linux driver for the MegaRAID. Apparently it isn't aware of 32-bit slots, so the driver ASSUMES that the HBA is placed in a 64-bit slot. This is according to LSI support. The controller behaves just fine under Windows on the same hardware platform, and that driver is aware of the PCI slot differencies.
I guess it would be nice with a patch/mod of the driver...
Is this an issue specific to Suse 9.3 or did it already occur in Suse 9.2 as well? I have 64-Bit Slots on my server mainboard and had no problems at all with Suse 9.2.
Well Sandy, then you're on the "good side" of it all... The driver is not aware of the 32-bit slots, so when you put the controller into a 32-bit, it fails since it presumes the controller is in a 64-bit slot. When you actually have it in a 64-bit slot, everything runs just fine. Anders.
