Hi, Im installing 5.3 amd64 on Dell Poweredge servers 2800 and 2850. All machines have 4 to 8gb of ram and Perc 4e/di hardware Raid controller. The install does not boot completely because of the amr driver for the Perc 4e/di not recognising 4gb+. To solve this I specify hw.physmem=4G at boot time. The system then recognises 3.3gb of the ram. To solve the issue of the amr driver i took the driver source from 6.0-CURRENT kernel source, replacing the driver in the 5.3 kernel source with it and compiling a new kernel. This worked and now all system ram is recognised. My question is,as these servers will be production servers under a heavy load a lot of the time,will this new driver be stable enough to use or is it a risk. Thanks.
