Thanks for getting back to me - I checked the version number of the drivers i got from the LSI website and
#define MPT_LINUX_VERSION_COMMON "4.00.05.00" I downloaded it here http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/standard_product_ics/sas_ics/lsisas1068/index.html?remote=1&locale=EN The version as far as i can tell in the fiesty edition seems to be #define MPT_LINUX_VERSION_COMMON "3.04.03" With regard the the Hosting Provider they have been harping on about the hardware not being fully supported by HP, its all just a bunch of bureaucracy as far as i am concerned, and i guess we will switch when the time to renew comes in a couple of months. in the meantime , a solution would be a great thing. (This might sound like a dumb question) Is there anyway to find out whether the driver is likely to cause any problems without rebooting ? In terms of other people experiencing problems like this it seems like its to do with write cacheing - this was the instructions i followed. But for me it didnt really do the job / im not sure whether or not enabling write cacheing was even successful due to the errors reported (original post). http://www.tomasek.cz/software/SAS5iRperf/ this also contains an interesting thread http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2006-October.txt.gz as does this ... http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-02/msg01747.html I hope you can help !
