Megaraid Driver IBM Blade Server

[Mike McGrath]

Hey guys, I'm trying to get a Megaraid driver for an HS20 series Blade
server.  I'm working with FC3 and it doesn't have native support for the
driver, I've tried other drivers and I just get a panic. I'd imagine
it's a conflict with the version of the kernal that the driver was
compiled against.  I'm going to try to compile it against the
2.6.9-1.667 kernel which I believe is what version the FC3 install CD is
using.  Anyone have any pointers / pitfalls I should know about?  Or
better yet, anyone have a working megaraid driver for FC3 on an HS20
blade server?

Is it the "old" megaraid driver you're after? I've got a copy of Chris 
Adams' FC3 driver disk at:

Mike, I don't know the first thing about Megaraid or compiling kernels.  
On the other hand I know that the kernel distributed on the FC3 install 
CD is pretty out of date relative to the latest update version which is 
something like 2.6.10-1.770 or 771.  Wouldn't you want to upgrade the 
kernels and libraries to the latest stable versions before compiling?

FWIW

I know that in RHEL4, the older megaraid cards are no longer supported. I
imagine the same is true in FC3. You might want to read the release notes
and see if this is covered.
