I recently received a hp proliant ml 330 which I installed redhat and then debian linux on it. I requires the megaide modules to see the raid disks correctly. They can be compiled from source, from this location.(see below.)
I could not determine how to compile them statically into the kernel, or create driver disks for a bf24 install. So I had to intall redhat linux and then debootstrap into a debian install, after I had recompiled the kernel and loaded the driver module via initrd. directions: install redhat linux boot machine install debootstrap install debian download megaide kernel http://www.stevehardy.info/ http://support.megaraid.com/support/dlresult.cfm download 2.4.25 kernel copy extra megaide directory to /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi so it's a subdirectory of scsi. edit makefile to include megaide section config kernel, make megaide include and cramfs,initrd ext3 scsis support. compile megaide kernel make dep bzImage megaide modules modules_install install kernel boot debian install. configure debian -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman
