[olug] SCSI Raid Adapter

[Jon H. Larsen]

I'm looking for a SCSI Raid adapter with an internal 50 pin high-density 
connector that will work "out of the box" on a Suse 9.0 or RH Enterpise 
Linux 3 installation.

The rackmount case I am using already has the SCSI backplane.

It has an Intel SCSI Raid adapter currently in the rackmount box that I 
have attempted to intall Suse 9.0, Fedora Core 1, and RH Enterprise Linux, and 
all of them failed to have the module pre-built for the install.
Even the Red Hat drivers disks included on the CD do not have the module 
pre-built.  I did not find a driver disk on Intel's site.  I would rather 
replace it with something that I won't have to mess with driver disks.  
(I have to take the access panel off to get inside the rackmount case to 
attach a floppy)  This is a production box. :)

Knoppix has the module pre-built and it loads the module properly, but I 
can't install knoppix and use it.

I have an IBM ServeRAID 3L, but if anyone has seen this card, you'll know 
it's a Full Length card and may not fit inside my rackmount case.

Suprisingly, RH7.x had the module included.  However, the README for the 
current offerings of the driver don't mention the card I have, so it 
appears to have been dropped.

Any suggestions?
Jon L.
