Description of problem: The system is a Dell 600SC with a Megaraid CERC ATA100 controller. The disk config is 4x80Gig Raid 5 array. When Booting from the FC5 RC3 disks, the Megaraid-Mbox module is automatically loaded as if it sees the controller. However the system does not recongize any disks. I added the older MegaRaid driver as well as the MegaRaid-mm driver but the disks were not seen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 RC3 How reproducible: Load/Install FC5 RC3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load RC3 Disk, Megaraid_mbox loaded automatically 2. Disks are not found 3. Actual results: Disks not found Expected results: Disks Found Additional info: This relates to a previous bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175594 As of FC4 with the original kernel this controller not longer is recongnized. I have downloaded the new 2.6.15 source and reviewed the supported controller codes. I did not (or at least did not see) this controller mentioned anymore but was told it still should be supported. Please let me know if 1) it still should work 2) it is no longer supported Any system details can be seen from the previous bug report.
Confirmed identical problem with PERC/CERC 4Channel IDE ATA Controller on DELL Poweredge 1400SC
Not sure if this is useful to anyone but..... megaraid module distributed with kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 functions correctly. megaraid module distributed with kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 (and after) fails.
Question to craford: 1 - thanks for the posts! 2 - When they changed the kernel code was it around the same time they introduced the megaraid_mbox driver new code. I found this link (even though people have said legacy support for this card is still in the Kernel: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-August/msg04255.html Dave Jones did say the driver should work. Ive tried linux noprobe and added all the megaraid drivers at install time and still get nothing.
PS: Sorry for the misspelled name Cradford
