the pe1950 sas controller works with the 'mptsas' module. if you can modprobe that than it should work. might need mpiscsih too - not sure. in my case I have SAS on the front-end and SATA on backends, and the SATA controller wasn't recognised properly by OSCAR. so I have this OSCAR script to load up ahci (the sata driver) for the backends. no other changes are necessary. ----- /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/pre-install/01all.load_sata_driver ------ #!/bin/sh # echo echo "loading ahci sata driver" echo modprobe ahci ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- in your case you'd just modprobe 'mptsas' instead of 'ahci'. does that help? cheers, robin > >Does someone have the required kernel/boel_binaries compiled out >there for a Dell PE1950?
