[SOLVED] NetRaid 1M . Got bad time whit Kernel 2.6 ?

[Adylas]

Hello,

I got a HP NetServer LH4r whit an NetRaid 1M inside. (Connected to an array of 5 disk).

I booted that whit an old Gentoo Live CD (Kernel 2.4). All is detected fine, working nice, my array is mapped on /dev/sda.

I installed my gentoo , emerging things, all went good. Then I compiled my kernel, In my lsmod I seen that my card was taking megaraid module, so I built it in my new 2.6.11 kernel.

When I boot whit that, I see just "nothing". The header of the megaraid is here but nothing is found. Then the troubleshooting goes, I tryed a lots of thing, kernel opt. other drivers, nothing do. I browsed the web, some pepole look like having the same issue .. But still no working solustion for me.

Now I'm compiling a 2.4 kernel , I bet it will work. (Because the megaraid driver was rewritten at kernel 2.6.9)

Some idea ?

Thanks for reading !



[SOLVED]

Yes, Gentoo was better then me on this shot.

My adapter is a NetRaid 1M and it need the Old Megaraid driver. You just have to compile as built-in driver in <2.6.9

Legacy Megaraid Driver

Thats it ..
