Michel, Unfortunately, you are out of luck. From the aic-7xxx driver source: <quote> Bus Types ---------------------------- R - Raid Port busses are not supported. The hardware RAID devices sold by Adaptec are *NOT* supported by this driver (and will people please stop emailing me about them, they are a totally separate beast from the bare SCSI controllers and this driver can not be retrofitted in any sane manner to support the hardware RAID features on those cards - Doug Ledford). <unquote> In the past, Adaptec has not been very supportive of Linux driver development. You should contact them and ask about Linux drivers for your card. The more customers that demand support, the more likely it will happen. It worked for me with AMI and the MegaRAID card. Otherwise, return the card and get one that is supported. You should also consider software RAID, which outperforms most hardware RAID controllers (various caveats apply). Good luck!
