If anyone read the last email I sent about this, I'm sorry I didn't know how busy this list must be. Here's the complete rundown I have a dell pe650 server which last worked running a 2.6.7 kernel, I think it was a development kernel. under a livecd this is the lspci, lspci -n output so you can see exactly what card i'm using. spci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge (rev 32) 00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge 00:03.0 RAID bus controller: American Megatrends Inc.

Here is the bootup from the 2.6.16-r9 kernel: megaraid cmm: 2.20.2.6 (Release Date: Mon Mar 7 00:01:03 EST 2005) megaraid: 2.20.4.7 (Release Date: Mon Nov 14 12:27:22 EST 2005) megaraid: probe new device 0x101e:0x1960:0x1028:0x0511: bus 0:slot 3:func 0 megaraid: fw version:[6.62] bios version:[1.03] scsi0 : LSI Logic MegaRAID driver scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 0 [Phy 0] for non-raid devices scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 1 [Phy 1] for non-raid devices scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 2 [Phy 2] for non-raid devices scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 3 [Phy 3] for non-raid devices scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 4 [virtual] for logical drives dsd concluded there is most likely a problem in the new driver detecting the hard drives and referred me to this list. I'm pretty new to all of this so I'm not sure what other information I can provide to help resolve this but i would appreciate any help you could offer.
