IBM x3650 (7979) ServeRAID Problem
Hi,
I'm trying to install Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 on a IBM eServer x3650 (Type:
7979, Model: KTG) server, but having trouble with ServeRAID 8k
controller. I stucked at "Detect disks" step of the installation
procedure. I tried installing aacraid, aic79xx, aic7xxx, aic7xxx_old
drivers with no luck. For aic79xx, aic7xxx, aic7xxx_old drivers, Alt-F4
console continuously reported that
kernel: program parted_dvices is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO
But aacraid produced no output. I also saw that aacraid has been already
loaded before reaching to "Detect disks" step.
IBM website has some links[1][2] for RedHat (OpenSuse, SCO, etc.)
drivers but I couldn't manage to compile those RPMs from source using a
vanilla 2.6.18 kernel tree.
You can also check /var/log/syslog[3] file and dmesg[4], "lspci -v"[5]
command outputs copied from installation console. If any other
information is needed, just let me know.
Any helps, suggestions will be really appreciated.
Regards.
