NACK this series We do not want to support these older controllers in the hpsa driver. While the driver may load and manage requests under healthy conditions many features will not be supported. Customers will not have support for any issues involving these controllers. We would need to track these changes in our OOB driver adding more confusion. For more information please see: http://cciss.sourceforge.net Thanks, Don Brace ESC - Smart Storage Microsemi Corporation
