The PCI info reported for my card: [ken@newred pci]$ grep raid /proc/bus/pci/devices 0048 101e1960 b e3100008 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00010000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00008000 megaraid Some possible workarounds listed here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=3419&topic_id=479 The same data in more useful form (now that I remember the lspci command): [ken@newred pci]$ lspci -s 00:09.0 -v -x 00:09.0 RAID bus controller: American Megatrends Inc. MegaRAID (rev 02) Subsystem: American Megatrends Inc. MegaRAID 511 i4 IDE RAID Controller Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at e3100000 (32-bit, prefetchable) Capabilities: <available only to root> 00: 1e 10 60 19 06 00 90 02 02 00 04 01 08 20 00 00 10: 08 00 10 e3 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1e 10 11 05 30: 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0b 01 00 00 I'm guessing that the newer megaraid driver is too agressive about matching PCI ID's. Looks like the newer driver supports the "i4 522" but not the "i4 511". I checked the megaraid_mbox source code and then asked on the linux-scsi list and Gerry Smith of LSI (current owner of the megaraid driver) replies that simply plugging in a PCI device record with the subdevice code for my card should work, as the card otherwise looks to software identical to its SCSI counterpart. I'll generate a patch and report on how that works out. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112618430317260&w=2 Ohay, thanks for checking that out. If it works, then we will work with LSI to get it in the mainstream driver, and patch FC in the meantime. Tom 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. Due to the overhead involved in creating new ISOs (which is what would be required for fixing bugs seen at installation time that don't have workarounds), this bug has been closed. For more information and suggestions, please see bug 169613 Thanks. |
