updated megaraid_sas drivers in hardware repo was Re: update firmware

[Baird, Josh]

Sorry for not following this thread more closely..

PowerEdge 2950 III
CentOS 5.1/x64
Linux boxname 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 11:28:47 EST 2008
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
PERC 5/I

Firmware Version	5.2.1-0067
Driver Version	00.00.03.10
Minimum Required Driver Version	00.00.03.13

Can I upgrade these drivers via the repository as well?

Thanks,

Josh

Updated drivers available in the hardware repository. "yum install
megaraid_sas" should fix this.
