[WBEL-users] IBM x306 + aarich driver for SATA RAID

[Scott McClintock]

Hi All,

I have an IBM x306 that I am trying to get linux loaded on... any Linux 
really ... just one that works   .... Though WBEL would be the preference.

Anyway, I have a RAID 1 array configured in the Adaptec BIOS but I 
cannot get Linux to recognise it.  If I installed with linux dd noprobe, 
and use the IBM supplied aarich driver, it simply says that no suitable 
devices were found for the driver.  The driver pick list in both Fedora 
core 2 and WBEL 3 lists the Adaptec SATA RAID aarich driver but also 
does not recognise the array.

The Adaptec diagnostics say that the array is fine and the IBM 
diagnostic CD happily tests the array ok.

I actually have to install about 10 of these boxes in the next couple of 
months so am pretty keen to find a solution.  Any ideas anyone?

I'd be happy to publish a procedure if we can get this sorted.

Thanks

Scott.
