The problem is that linux driver needs at least 2.73 firmware, the latest dec shipped was 2.70. You can still find updates and software to do the update somewhere on the net. Then you either have to vi -b DAC.o or edit the source and recompile the module. Anyway, i installed the system on one of the disks in the drawer in front of the box, hooked up to onboard qlogic 1020. Symptopms of this driver 'fix' are usualy that all disks are pronouced as dead almost immediately, but the arrays work ok. If anyone has figured that out, i'm all ears. -- Jure Pecar
