Dell PE860 + Ubuntu 7.04 omreport does not find any storage controller

[John Huong]

Thanks for the insight Patrick. Ok I'll try and give those modules a go 
(probably needs a reboot).
By the way, after lots of googling I find that I can monitor the health 
at least from the ubuntu mpt-status package.
Not sure if there are any packages that may allow me to do RAID 
configuration from the command line through this controller.
