RE: aacraid, Adaptec 2410SA on RH9?

Thanks for the prompt reply!

This morning I tried the RH "Severn" beta which seems to properly recognize
the controller and drives.

Yes I had attempted the dd install, from RH9 and RH8 CDs.  The strangeness
is that RH8 doesn't access the floppy drive even for a moment to seek for a
driver disk.  RH9 accesses the floppy drive OK although the RH8 driver disk
doesn't work with RH9 and a RH9 driver disk could not be found on the
Adaptec website.

I just got delivery of the hardware earlier this week.  The release notes on
the CD included with the 2410SA indicates that it is quite recent (as of
July 2003) but there isn't anything available for RH9 on the CD or Adaptec
website.  Your email address indicates that you work for Adaptec, can you
prod the appropriate folks at Adaptec to post RH9 driver disk on the
website?

So far I haven't found anything on the Adaptec website or CD that I can use
to install RH9 easily.  To have a RH9 driver disk image file available would
certainly be useful!

Yes, tested RH9.

The RH9 drivers (RH9INT and RH9US) were released with the product, I am not
sure if we released the driver disks (as they were not matrix tested) but
the rpm has the modules.

We are still working out the kinks for an unsupported driver page so that
you can have the latest driver build products available for download. This
would be the mechanism where I would place the RH9 install disks.

The failure to access the floppy is a hardware (motherboard and/or OS
interaction with the floppy hardware) issue, I would assume you are
selecting the dd install. RH8' aacraid driver did not have the product ids
for the 2410SA, you will need the updated driver as provided on the install
disk (or post-install, using the rpm).

Red Hat Linux seems to detect the Adaptec 2410SA SATA RAID controller as
using the "aacraid" driver.
Has anyone got this card working with RH9?
I also tried installing RH8 with Adaptec's driver disk after updating the
firmware (2003 July 29 version) and still no luck (RH8 doesn't even access
the floppy drive for the driver disk).
Adaptec doesn't seem to have RH9 drivers for the 2410SA available at this
time.

Anyone with further info?
