I would like to use the 3ware Escalade 6400 4-port IDE RAID card in my new
e-smith server. (No, I haven't gotten my Mylex 352 RAID card to work yet :-).
I have a RedHat 7.0 driver disk for it,
(http://www.3ware.com/support/3warednload_6000_driver.asp), but how do I
get e-smith to take a drivers diskette?
It was mentioned that it was at least a weeks work to move to the
kernel-2.2.17*.rpm updates. Is this being worked on for a 4.2 or 4.1.1?
I also have other questions:
- Is there any plans to try e-smith on RedHat 7.1 Fisher (which does
support the newer DAC960)?
- What would the process be for building a custom e-smith distro that had a
newer kernel (e.g. VALinux kernel-*.rpm files)?
- Loading VALinux 7.0.1 and applying all of the e-smith RPMS didn't result
in a working E-smith install (as I outlined in my last e-mail). What should
I try now?
- What are the differences between the RedHat kernel-*.rpm files and the
E-smith kernel*.rpm files?
- If I begged on my hands and knees would someone look into adding a newer
DAC960 driver to e-smith 4.1x?
- Does anyone have any tips for installing e-smith-*.rpms on an existing
running RedHat system?
- What if I used VALinux 6.2.4 - which is based off Redhat 6.2, could I
then load E-smith 4.0.1 with more ease than I could load 4.1x on VA Linux
7.0.1?
Thanks for all the help,
