PERC 5/i and Booting to RHEL AS4 Update 4

[Patrick McMahon]

Les,

I just booted and installed CentOS 4.4 from CD (32 bit i386 mode) it recognized the megaraid_sas
(although as a PERC 4) and installed just fine.

They do have a LiveCD that can also be used for rescue - that might give you some relief until a
better solution appears.
