hello, i am very new to centos and experienced some trouble yesterday when installing centos 5 onto our workgroup server. Our Server is equipped with an external RAID-array using an LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07) SCSI controller.
Unfortunately the Server won't boot with the array connected, but gives the error message:
target1:0:2: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
again and again. The now deleted SuSE 9.2 distribution (kernel 2.6.11), that we used for a long time was working just fine with the array. However Debian 4.0 which uses an 2.6.18 kernel just like CentOS 5 does not.
We then tried to use the recent Fedora Core 6 kernel 2.6.22-xx which is working fine again, so this has to be a kernel issue. As i don't like the idea to have to use a Fedora kernel with CentOS, i am looking for a recent (unofficial) kernel that has been tested to work with CentOS. Is there any repository for that (maybe with some kind of security updates too)?
