Bug#279936: [i386][20041104][netinst] partial success: Dell PowerEdge 1850



Some additional info about these raid controllers, copied from
 http://mlug.missouri.edu/pipermail/members/2004-September/006213.html

Discussion:
Some of the new Dell PowerEdge servers use Dell's PERC4ei (alternate
spellings for search:  PERC 4/ei, PERC4/ei, PERC4 EI, PERC 4ei) RAID
controller, which is essentially a rebadged LSI MegaRAID.  After much
research, I finally located the following information in a post from
Matt Domsch (a Linux type at Dell):

"New embedded ROMB (the 'i'), U320 (hence the 4) and PCI-Express (the
'e'), which happens to be based on LSI megaraid (yes, uses megaraid2
driver)."
