Linux RH A.S 3 and Smart Array 6i controler

Consty — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 16:05:08 GMT

Hi,
Cannot install Linux Redhat A.S3 on disk attached to Smart Array 6I controler on a HP DL380 G4 (NO DEVICE FOUND). Drivers created with the CD SmartStart V7.10 are not good. The system works very well under Windows.
Thanks for help

RedHat AS 3 does not have kernel support for the 6i controller. I had this same problem and
the quickest solution I had was to use another Linux distro. Any of the Fedora Core releases and Debian 3 support this card out of box. That's the best I have for now!

Drivers for Smart array 6i controllers are available from RedHat 3 Update 4 onwards.

I have installed RedHat 3 Update 4 and Update 5 (which is the latest) on machine with 6i controller and it worked fine. Check for the updates for RedHat 3.

Hope this helps,
Gopi
