PERC 5/i Integrated State Degraded

[David Brůha]

Hi,

I have researched this issue a while ago, it's actually a problem with the LSI 
megaraid driver you are using, the array is ok.

The solution is to use a newer driver (>= 00.00.03.13) which is downloadable 
at the LSI website or is incorporated into the newer kernel (>=2.6.25).
