[CentOS] Dell 1950 Perc 6/i with centos 4.5

We are currently running CentOS 4.5 on older Dell Systems. We are upgrading to Dell PowerEdge 1950 with a PERC 6/i raid controller.

CentOS 4.5 installation does not see the PERC 6/i controller. Dell and LSI Logic only support RHEL 4U6 and higher and SuSe.

I've tried building the boot images with the new driver for installation but kickstart still doesn't see the raid controller. I've also used the DRIVERDISK directive within kickstart but that didn't work either.

Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any suggestions on what I might try next?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Steve Moccio
