Hi James, I'm running FW 6.62 and the latest megaraid doesn't detect the controller. The suggestion made on the bug list was to roll back the firmware 6.61 which I am unsure on doing, as Dell are not going to advocate flashing a bios with a firmware not formerly built for that machine (1600SC). So the new megaraid driver(s) built into the 2.6 kernel are at fault and they are produced by LSI and there current position is they should still be supporting this device?

I don't think there's a kernel fix for that. LSIs position is that in current kernels they only support this device with the new megaraid driver and only for firmware version >= 6.61. Surely you just need to get Dell and LSI on the same page?
