I'm trying to set up a new server running on an old Dell Poweredge 2500
which contains a Dell PERC 3/Di Adaptec-based RAID controller running
RAID 5 on three disks. When the install boots up it comes along and says
that it does not detect any disks to install to. I dug around in Google
and saw some older posts eluding to disabling the aha* and ahc* drivers
via the UKC, but that did not help me. Since it is an Adaptec card, I
even tried 'enable aac*' but that did not seem to load anything.
I am wondering if this card is actually supported, or if anyone has been
able to get it to work easily. I've got conflicting compatibility
reports as http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html does not list it, but the
INSTALL.i386 file does.
As far as the card and hard drives go, they still seem usable as CentOS
3.4 and Ubuntu 6.0.6.1 will install with no problems, so I'm leaning
away from hardware failure.
If I need to I can submit a bug report to bugs@, but the IRC channel
directed me here first :)
The PERC 3/Di is an aac(4) controller. As you're probably aware, it is
not supported in GENERIC. However, you're welcome to use my aac-enabled
releases. Make sure you read the aac.README.
