I have a lab in my office at my job where we are working to load FC6 on
a series of older Compaq DL380 servers. Each of them has the old Compaq
Integrated SMART array controller. This is a different controller from
the SMART Array Controller I'm familiar with.

Bottom Line, FC6 (as did FC5) is simply not seeing this controller at
all. Does anyone have the secret incantation to make these run?

I know these servers actually belong in a museum, but it's all we have
at the moment. We don't want to invest any real $$ in them either
because they really do belong in a museum and we're holding our funds
for newer equipment.

If not, I guess there's always EBay...

Can you post the output of lspci -v?

I'll have to do that later this morning once I'm in the office. It will
be a couple of hours, so stand by.

Cheers,

Chris

Note: On some of those old DL380s there is a DIMM card that can be removed containing the raid controller, and doing so causes the system to revert to a regular SCSI controller. This is something I have checked out with HP Support, and implemented successfully in the past. In that configuration you could use software raid instead. Check whether your servers have this feature. Newer DL380s cannot be so disabled, and you would have to purchase an add-in SCSI controller card and a cable kit to connect it to the drive bays instead of the system board.
