Hi,
I'm trying to install Centos 4.3 x86 on a PE 1400SC but the install doesn't find any HD's.
So then I get the option to load a module, so I choose for the megaraid_mbox module for the LSI LOGIC 4CH PERC but my RAID5 still doesn't get recognised.
Had the same problem 2 years ago with FC3 wich was due to the megaraid module wich got obsolete in the 2.6 kernel but somebody filed a bug and a driver disk was provided to solve this percy problem.
Also tried installing the new shiney Ubuntu Dapper server release, but the install also suffered from the same problem.
Could someone provide a loadable driver disk for centos?
kind regards,

Your problem is that the LSI driver in the 2.6 kernel does not include the older megaraid devices.
Look here (and search for megaraid_mbox):
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/release-notes/as-x86/
I don't know if there is a driver that still works, but this device is probably supported on CentOS-3.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Normally all PERC 4 and 3 controllers should be supported in CentOS 4 ... Support for older Perc 2 was removed from 2.6 kernels but you said that you're using a Perc 4 ... You'd better have a look at http://linux.dell.com in the storage section about support for your controller in 2.6 kernel ... Anyway, on the support website for your pe1400 i don't see this PERC 4CH, but other Perc 4x controllers ... are you sure about the raid controller model you have ?
