Hi, I have many customers with similar kinds of SCSI controllers running mostly RHEL4 (though many are running RHEL3 & 5, and a very small part of them non-enterprise Linuxes) and never experienced such a problem. I do not believe that this is a driver issue, and this only leads me to suspect that this is an hardware problem.
Actually, if you'll purchase a branded server (Sun, IBM, etc.), no one will blame the Linux. But, you might be facing support issues because of the uncertified & untested Linux flavor. (And I wouldn't blame them, I did encounter a few problems in the past which involved specific community Linux releases and branded hardware) - Noam On Jan 15, 2008 9:24 PM, Noam Rathaus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Hrm, before I go and start my service agreement that usually results in a > eyebrow raising on "THIS IS LINUX!"
