I have several machines with a Dell (LSI) ide RAID controller that LSI just decided not to port from kernel 2.4 to 2.6. Although it has now been ported by the community, it has never really regained its status a first class citizen. It's possible to make it work, but every kernel
I have been searching for these drivers and haven't had much luck yet, can you tell me where you found the "community" copy? I only have one right now and do plan on ridding myself of it, but for the moment have to support it.
Thanks, jer
Well, my experience is with FC2/FC3/FC4. (Yes, it's been going on that long!)
There is an installation driver disk, released by someone, possibly Dave Jones, for FC3 and FC4. To be honest, the machines that I have that require the driver are all behind hardware firewalls and the local users are trusted, so I have just continued to use the same kernel, skipping updates on these machines. So I don't remember where to go to get the disk. Anyway, that's fedora anyway.
However, this page:
