Hi,

I'm trying to install Centos 4.3 x86 on a PE 1400SC but the install doesn't find any HD's.

So then I get the option to load a module, so I choose for the megaraid_mbox module for the LSI LOGIC 4CH PERC but my RAID5 still doesn't get recognised.

Had the same problem 2 years ago with FC3 wich was due to the megaraid module wich got obsolete in the 2.6 kernel but somebody filed a bug and a driver disk was provided to solve this percy problem.

Also tried installing the new shiney Ubuntu Dapper server release, but the install also suffered from the same problem.

Could someone provide a loadable driver disk for centos?

kind regards,

Your problem is that the LSI driver in the 2.6 kernel does not include the older megaraid devices.

Look here (and search for megaraid_mbox):

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/release-notes/as-x86/

I don't know if there is a driver that still works, but this device is probably supported on CentOS-3.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

i have a similar problem (i'm running CentOS 4 on some older HP servers), and i was able to fix it by following these instructions:

http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/index.php?url=archives/4-Installing- RHEL4-on-Systems-with-Legacy-Megaraid-Drivers.html

i keep meaning to roll up my own RPM for the legacy kernel module; this reminded me of that project.

Hi,

just succesfully installed Centos 4.3 on a PE 1400SC with e Perc ATA100/4Ch card.

I've build a working driver for i586 and i686 arch on a 2.6.9-34 kernel (centos 4.3) wich can be d/l from:

and this is the step by step howto:

Hope this is useful for others with the same problem.
