The fact that loading the megaraid_mbox driver allows you to see the drives at all implies that the driver at least thinks it's trying to do it's job. Have you tried booting the system with "noapic". Quite a few issues like this seem to be helped with this setting. Also, does that version of the card have the option for "I20 vs. Mass Storage" setting. You might try toggling that each way and see what happens. Also, make sure the card and server have the latest available firmware. > I also found an article on this at > http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/index.php?/archives/4-Installing-RHEL4-on-Systems-with-Legacy-Megaraid-Drivers.html#extended > I tried this but it seems that the header files required to compile this > driver has also been deprecated for the 2.6.18-8.el5-i686 kernel and the > make fails. If all else fails this method should still work, but you'll need to grab the megaraid source from the kernel.src.rpm for your RHEL5 system rather than using the tarball available at the site above. If you need a little help I could probably put together a RHEL5 tarball that will work and put it on the site as well, I just haven't had many requests about RHEL5 as the hardware is getting pretty old at this point.
