Venkatesh, Thanks, I assume you're modifying your megaraid code to note firmware upgrade necessity to the user for this case. Trick was Dell download site didn't route to the new firmware when selecting on the box and RH Linux. I don't know what magic selection would have popped up the driver. Both Venkatesh and Dells' Linux support person flagged the need for the new driver. Thanks again. I haven't tried going back and setting up and booting any of the other kernels again that failed before (i.e. 2.2.16 or 2.2.18). I'm running peacefully with 2.4.1pre10 and the 1.14e megaraid driver code. If it's of interest to anyone I could try booting one of my kernels that's still running the older megaraid driver (that ran fine with older firmware i.e. 2.2.13 or 2.4.0). Or, more of a hassle, but could download the 2.2.18 again and rebuild and try that.
