2.6 kernel on PowerEdge 1850?
Hi folks,
Has anyone had luck getting kernel-2.6 running on a Dell PowerEdge 1850
and if so what did you do?
I am well acquainted with the Debian on Dell Servers web page, however
that applies to kernel 2.4:
http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Debian+on+Dell+Servers
I am interested in getting kernel 2.6 running in Debian Etch on a Dell
PowerEdge 1850 with megaraid_mbox / megaraid_mm for the Perc 4e/Si and
the necessary OpenIPMI drivers for the PE 1850. The stock
kernel-source-2.6.8 tree seems to be missing the code for the new
megaraid driver, and I have found this has already been registered as a
"bug". I also tried kernel-2.6.15.4 from kernel.org, which has the
necessary drivers, but ran into some different issues with getting that
to work--I can try again more "scientifically" and give more details as
I go along. I'm just hoping to benefit from the experience of others
before I go off and try to reinvent the wheel. I've already spent a lot
of time Googling and haven't found as yet that anyone else has managed
to do it.
Thanks,
