dellmgr doesn't work with recent kernels

[Gertjan Oude Lohuis]

Hi!
I've got a couple of PowerEdge 2850 servers with a PERC 4e/Di RAID 
controller. I recently reinstalled two of them, and installed a recent 
version of Linux, 2.6.27. Apparently the name of the drivers for this 
controller have changed, from megaraid to megaraid_legacy.

But after compiling and loading the appropriate module, dellmgr won't 
start. It does find the correct major number in /proc/devices, and 
creates the node, but after starting dellmgr I'm stuck with the 
notification:

    No Adapters Found.
  Press any key to exit.

This looks like the same issue as http://bugs.gentoo.org/233295. The 
last kernel that surely worked was 2.6.24. I haven't tried any kernels 
in between.

Is this a bug in dellmgr?
