We had a hard time installing one of those under Novell too, however one of
the tekkies managed to get it done. The company that import them where a
little help to us so you might want to try them. Unfortunatly I was not
about when they got it working under novell so I cant offer too much help.
But it can be done...

Subject: [SLUG] Linux Nightmares
| Hi Sluggers,
|
| Configuring the new DPT Millenium Raid controllers or the Eicon Diva range
| of isdn cards under linux is a nightmare of patches, crap error messages
and
| absolutely piss-poor documentation, most of it in german.
|
| Is anyone running either of these cards successfully?
|
| Strangely, getting them running under Windoze is a 5 minute exercise....
so
| if no-one else is running these cards (proving it can be done) I'll
probably
| install Bill's trash and get on with the job. So far I've spent more than
20
| hours diddling with linux and this hardware - I'll spend less than that
| watching NT blue screen and auto-reboot for the next several years.
|
| Linux is awesome once its fully setup, but trying to configure
non-standard
| hardware is imho usually not worth the effort, and definately not
| recommended unless you have a few days with nothing else to do.
|
| This is sad because linux on a high end server would rock. I guess in a
| couple more years the vendor-provided drivers will improve, but till then
| I'll avoid running linux on anything more than standard low end pc's.
|
| Cheers,
| Marty
