The megaraid_mbox driver doesn't support older cards; please do not remove the old megaraid driver until/unless there is a functional replacement. My understand is that the old cards communicate with the host via an older protocol. LSI decided that it would be easier to split the old proto and the mbox proto into separate drivers and wrote the mbox driver. However, they apparently have no plans to write a driver for the older cards (because they consider the older cards obsolete). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
