Hi Richard, Thanks for the tip. In fact, I am waiting for 7.3 to be released to try it out. Do you remember what kind of problems you were having with 7.1 and 7.2 ? Thanks, Babu --- "Parvass, Richard" wrote:

Hi there

Don't know if this is of use, but I had trouble with Megaraid and 7.1 and 7.2. Upgrading to 7.3 did the trick for me though - perhaps you will consider it?

Hi Dragos,

I have the AMI (now LSI) MegaRAID PCI controller (actually on motherboard) using the (CMD649) chipset. Here is information:

lspci -vv produces (for the RAID portion only):

00:10.0 RAID bus controller: CMD Technology Inc PCI0649 (rev 02) Subsystem: American Megatrends Inc.: Unknown device 0649 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-

I have tried installing the Suse 7.1 issued megaraid.o driver, and another I got off the AMI/LSI people.

insmod megaraid produces:

/tmpdir/megaraid.o: init_module: Cannot allocate memory Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

Any clues? Help!

Babu

what megaraid card do you have? I have a 2.2 box who can boot it like a charm (the driver is compiled in kernel, not as a module) it's a HP server, so the adapter is called netraid, but it is a truly megaraid card...

Folks,

I managed to track down a MegaRAID driver (object file) and I also found one as part of the standard 7.1 Suse release.

What I haven't quite figured out is how to tell the kernel about it. It does not seem to detect the megaraid card and load the drivers automatically.

I tried getting it to load with insmod and modprobe but I got errors indicating maybe I need to specify additional parameters. I have no idea what to give for addresses and such.

I tried modifying the modules.conf file and enable scsi-adaptor, since the megaraid appears as scsi, but that didn't work. I also tried to enable ide-scsi and still no success.

Any idea how to approach this?

Thanks!!

Babu
