I want to install CentOS 5.1 with hardware RAID on an HP DL140 G3 server that I have here for testing. It prompts me for a storage controller. According to this readme page for the latest driver at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p1463703615/v44436/mpt linux-4.00.13.01-2.rhel5.i686.dd.gz.txt CentOS 5 should already contain a "default driver version contained in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installation CD" I would rather like to use that than go the complicated route of providing the latest HP driver. That "HP Internal Port SAS/SATA HBA with RAID" actually is a RAID controller from LSILogic and I tried to load all four LSILogic drivers provided on the driver list, but none is accepted. Does somebody have experience with this server/RAID controller and can tell me if I can go somehow with the drivers provided by CentOS 5.1 or do I need to go with the drivers provided by HP?
