[WBEL-users] WBEL4 Install Not Recognizing RAID

[Daniel J. Summers]

Good evening.

At work, I have a server on which I've been running 3 for a while.  Due 
to network paperwork and all that jazz, I don't really have anything I 
care about on it, so I decided I would install 4 in the interim so that, 
once that other [bs] is done, it would be ready to go.  However, after 
Anaconda starts up, and loads a few drivers (megaraid and aic97xxx, I 
believe), it tells me that it can't detect my drives, and that I'll need 
to pick my own driver so it'll know what to use.  I've tried picking the 
ones in the list, and also selecting others from the "other list" from 
the same manufacturer (Adaptec and American Megatrends).  However, each 
time, once I get to the screen that asks whether I want to partition the 
disks myself or let the system do it, it tells me that I don't have any 
suitable devices on the server.

I can still boot the existing 3 installation, so I know it's not 
inopportune hardware failure.  I also had to leave work in a hurry 
today, before writing down the details of the server in question.  It's 
a Dell PowerEdge (I forget the exact number - maybe 3430?  It has dual 
P2-350s), and has a MegaRAID controller with an Adaptec SCSI BIOS.  Is 
there a configuration file (something in /proc, maybe) that would give 
me (or you) a better idea of why the 4 install can't see the disks?

Thanks...  :)
