hmmm...I remember that ;-)
glad my notations are helping
I vaguely recall some discussion that a centos plus kernel module for
these old megaraid cards was going to be made available but I haven't
seen any discussion about that.
a quick persusal in centos plus shows only a kernel-module for xfs but
perhaps it is enabled in the centos plus kernel because if I recall
correctly, appletalk is built into centos plus kernels and not separate
module.
