legacy megaraid status

What is the current situation with the legacy megaraid driver? It seems that is is broken for a lot
of people with old raid cards.

Any particular card you're interested in?

I've got a test kernel built based on Fedora Core 4's installation kernel to try the new driver with the old i4-100 (ATA100 RAID) but haven't had a chance to build a boot disk with it so I can test it on my working Fedora Core 2 server. (Gotta re-learn how to make boot media. Haven't done that since I made a boot floppy with Red Hat 6.) -

Any idea what the PCI ID quad is? (See the pci.ids file for examples.)
One possibility is that it's "close enough" to one of the cards listed in the PCI ID table in megaraid_mbox.c and you can just add the ID for this one. I'll wait for one of the LSI people to weigh in on whether that would work.

Hello,

If changing the PCI ID doesn't work, you could switch the controller to I2O mode and use the I2O driver. But after doing so it's not possible to use the megaraid utilities anymore.

However I am not quite about the SSID..Is this the Subsystem hex lspci reports?

I'm not at the machine right now to check, but I recall skimming through the source to the various macros and enumeration code to figure out how this information was extracted.

When you get a moment, if you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it
