Raid1 on Dell Poweredge with Perc4e/Di Raid Controller running Debian Sarge (3.1)
Hello,
I would like to use Raid1 on the Dell Poweredge with Perc4e/Di Raid Controller and two 2 73 GB drives running Debian Sarge (3.1).
At http://linux.dell.com/storage.shtml I read that the Powerege 2850 Perc4e/Di requires megaraid2 driver 2.00.3 or higher on 2.4.x kernel. On 2.6.x kernels (x < 9) there is no driver for these adapters. On 2.6.x (x >= 9) use the 'megaraid_mbox' and 'megaraid_mm' drivers.
Problem: The Debian Installers offers only to install:
- 2.4.x (which seems to be okay for the raid) OR
- 2.6.8 (which would not allow the use of the Raid)
Solution:
Is there a megaraid driver for the 2.6.8 kernel? If so, where?
If not, should I use 2.4.x kernel or try to install a 2.6.9 kernel on Debian Sarge?
Regards,
