If I compiled the kernel with only the amr driver, it would not see my raid volume. If I enabled a separate scsi driver (I think it was some LSI Logic scsi driver) in addition to amr, the amr driver would work fine. I wish I could give some exact details (like the name of the other scsi driver), but this is on my home machine, and I'm currently at work. While a generic 7.1-PRERELEASE kernel had both of these compiled in (of course), and worked fine for me, I suspect our problems are related. I have an LSI Logic 150-4 SATA raid controller. -Cameron n Tuesday 13 January 2009 11:27:15 am Steve Polyack wrote: > Hello, > > We have a Dell PowerEdge 1850 server.
