Description of problem: My adaptec 2015S raid controller is not recognised during installation of RHEL AS v3, and the installation cannot continue because It cannot see my disks. Fedore core 1 and RH9 install without a problem because they contain the driver dpt_i2o. I tried the newest iso image (update 2) and the first v3 iso image for the x86_64 architecture. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always, and on my two server with adaptec 2015S raid controller. Controller is not defective, because Fedore and RH9 install fine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL AS v3 (x86_64) on opteron system with Adaoptec 2015S Raid controller 2. It will give warning about no drives found to install, when selecting add drivers, the dpt_i2o driver is not in list. 3. Actual results: Unable to install RHEL AS v3 my Opteron server. Expected results: Able to install RHEL As v3, just as I installed Fedora core 1 and RedHat9. Additional info: I tried to boot with "linux expert" but still could not load the dpt_i2o. I did alt-F2 and at the shell prompt, checked the anaconda.log, dpt_i2o was not loaded. I checked the module directory and in the file module-info there is no reference to the dpt-i2o driver.
The driver isn't 64-bit clean from what I remember.
Don, this is a RHEL3 feature request.
Internal RFE bug #154237 entered; will be considered for future releases.
Based on a technical assessment, this driver is not suitable for inclusion in a 64-bit version of RHEL3. Removing from U6 consideration.
