RH9 on PE2900

[Naidu Bollineni]

I have tried what Brian at lyrix.com suggested, and that at least
recognizes the drive(sda), but then going further, it crashes in a
process scsi_eh_0 where EIP shows as 0x060 which means it has accessed
an offset on null pointer.

Hi Naidu,

we run a PE1950 here with SuSE 10.1 and we use the mpt fusion drivers
for the 5/I not the megaraid. Since the machine didn't want to boot with
the drivers that are in the kernel, I've used the DKMS package and
drivers provided on the driver disk from Dell. This worked for me.

regards,

Maarten
