Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but maybe you can install another distro (Fedora or an older CENTOS) to get driver support. Also, could using a virtual server work? I am just wondering if you can place something like CENT as the host OS then run VMWare and maybe create a virtual machine with RHEL5? Perhaps this VM will not require direct hardware support for the controller? You might be able to virtualize part of your infrastructure as well and run a legacy OS which supports your controller - then, include this box in the virtual infrastructure. Maybe the real question is why is it that you need to run RHEL5 on a 4 year old box? I am not saying there is a problem with it, but is it essential that REHL5 is run on this one? Just some thoughts for you... -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Bacchi Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 11:41 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Adaptec SCSI RAID 2000S I hope you've already solved this problem.
