Hi, is this controller supported whit fc6 (or fc7)? > http://download.adaptec.com/raid/aar/linux/aar81xx-openbuild-b11949.i386.tar.gz There is a "KNOW ISSUE" (see the attach readme file) for which it does not is supported on fc5 .... Someone can tell me some suggest?

The SAS driver, adp94xx, supports the ASC-48300, > ASC-44300 and ASC-58300 SAS controllers. The SATA2 driver, aar81xx, supports the AAR-1420SA > and AAR-1430SA controllers and adp3132 supports AAR-1220SA Controller. > > Adaptec has tested this recompile procedure ONLY on the following Linux kernel streams: > > RedHat RHEL 3 > RedHat RHEL 4 > SUSE SLES9 > SUSE SLES10 > Fedora Core 4 > > Support for other Linux streams may be attempted by the user, but Adaptec does not provide > any support for such applications. > > Linux device driver recompilation is something that should only be attempted by Linux experts. > This procedure is not intended to be a step-by-step guide for the novice user.
