We have DELL R900 server with PERC6/i and PERC 6/E in it. O.S. is CENTOS 5.3. I download latest PERC 6 driver from DELL site and tried to installed it. I have error messages said :
Module version 00.00.03.21 for megaraid_sas.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 (00.00.04.01-RH1).
Does CENTOS 5.3 come with PERC6 driver? I knew in CENTOS 4.X PERC 5 or PERC6 driver is not include.
Thanks.

yes, if your interface is using the megaraid_sas driver, then it will be ok.
What problem are you trying to solve with this Dell driver anyway ?

I just deployed 10 R610s which have this controller with CentOS 5.2, I later upgraded their kernels to the latest from 5.3, though the rest of the systems are 5.2. Of course the drivers are part of the kernel not the rest of the space.

I was also able to run R610s under CentOS 4.6 without any issue as well.
