Installation won't recognize PERC 4e/Si RAID controller on Dell 1850

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Won't recognize the logical drive (verified the logical/physical drive is working by installing Windows 2003 with updated driver) Also, the megaraid driver (which is required for this RAID card) is no longer present in the list of additional device drivers. Is this loaded by default now? I believe that the updated drivers have been merged into the kernel.org stock kernel as of 2.6.8 - and I thought Fedora Core 3 Test 2 was using the 2.6.8 kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Purchase a Dell Poweredge 1850 2. Try to install FC2 or FC3 Test 2 3. Actual Results: Says there is no hard drive Expected Results: Should recognize the hard drive Additional info:
What happens if you load megaraid_mbox?
If you mean LSI's megaraid v2.20.2.0 I am sure that would work, but I cannot find it in the the list of additional drivers. I have even been trying to create my own driver disk with megaraid_mm.o and megaraid_mbox.o on it, but having problems. How can I load megaraid_mbox?
megaraid* is missing from modules.cgz
At least on x86_64, this appears to have been fixed post-FC3t2 The 20041001 boot.iso for x86_64 just installed on the 4e/Di in a 2850 here. The PERC was autodetected and the new megaraid drivers loaded automagically.... I would think it should be working now on your 1850 as well
Note that after install you will have to create an initrd manually (see Bug #134369).
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
