Hi

                    I recently got a Dell Precision 690. I have had to reinstall my OS (Red Hat WS4) but every time I try to install it, the hard drives are not found. I have two SATA drives on HD 0 and HD 1 using the onboard SAS controller with a RAID 1 configuration. I have download the Dell SAS 5/iR Integrated driver and I am using mptlinux-3.02.63-3-rhel4.i686.dd to make my floppy for the install. The driver is read from the floppy but instead of moving on to the next stage of the install I get prompted to pick a driver from a list  as the hard drives have not been detected. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know of another driver that will work.
