Hello all:
Tried to upgrade a two-processor Dell 4300 the other
night from RH 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-10smp) to RH 9. When the install gets
to the point where it is looking for a prior linux version, it is unable
to detect the hard drive(s) (RAID). It then asks that you either select
the appropriate driver from a list or provide the appropriate drive.
Tried selecting "Megaraid" from the list without success. The
appropriate section from dmesg when booting 7.3 (where the RAID is
detected) follows:
megaraid: v1.18a (Release Date: Mon Mar 11 11:38:38 EST 2002)
megaraid: found 0x8086:0x1960:idx 0:bus 2:slot 10:func 1
scsi2 : Found a MegaRAID controller at 0xe085c000, IRQ: 18
megaraid: [ED4D:1.25] detected 1 logical drives
megaraid: channel[1] is raid.

Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 35094528 512-byte hdwr sectors (17968 MB)
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 >
I've done some Googling around and seen some similar references where
the fix is to upgrade the firmware. Just wondering if anyone has run
across this. Any suggestions about how to proceed would be greatly
appreciated. I will summarize.
Thanks,
Dave
BTW: Very happy that the list is back.....
