Dear centos community, I was in the process of installing centos in a machine however during the install the OS is unable to see the controller "MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e", i noticed that LSI has some drivers for centos. Can someone guide me on how to load the drivers so the OS can see the controller as it loads. Thank you in advance. Lisandro
Hi Lisandro,
just look at http://www.lsi.de.com/channel/products/raid_controllers/sata_sas/9280-24i4e/... and read the readme.txt.
1. download the megaraid_sas-v00.00.04.31-CentOs5.5-all.img 2. insert a floppy 3. dd if= megaraid_sas-v00.00.04.31-CentOs5.5-all.img of=/dev/floppy and type at the boot-prompt "linux dd"
That's all
Andreas

- dd if= megaraid_sas-v00.00.04.31-CentOs5.5-all.img of=/dev/floppy

(It should work using an USB stick, too...

Should work similar to writing to a FDD.
Maybe you have to experiment if plugging the stick into the machine *before* booting or when anaconda requests the driver disk works -- I have seen machines behave differently in this regard.

Thank u timo, I will test this further when I get home. I have been having nightmares getting this card working from an OS iso, it appears that the card is very new and the drivers have not been integrated into the distributions or kernel. The alternative is to load the driver via console using any of the modules supply by LSI. Thank you again Timo for your guidance. Lisandro

You're welcome.
Ah, and welcome to the world of proprietary drivers. This is something that the OpenBSD guys do right: They ignore them. ;)

I don't think LSI has proprietary drivers.. they provide the sources, and also pre-compiled driver disks for some linux distros.
I assume RHEL/CentOS 5.5 does not (yet) contain a driver for that HBA, so they're making it easier to use that HBA.
In the future (maybe in RHEL/CentOS 5.6) the driver is probably included in the distro, out-of-the-box.
