I have two servers with various RocketRaid cards installed - you do have to jump some hoops to make them work but they seem to work just fine once set up properly - you need to recompile/link for every kernel update - I have a script that I run to make it painless (YMMV). Feel free to contact me off list if you want a copy of my setup notes. You may also want to check epel repo, I recall they had some kmod setup for some of these cards. > > Thanks for any suggestions in advance! > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
