Hi

in an acutely blonde moment I have forgotten the exact model number....

I will be back on site later today and will check

I am fairly certain it was an Adaptec 2200S

there was an rpm on the CD that came with it - aacraid-1.1.4-2322.rpm
which
I haven't installed yet.

thanks

Mark

is there some way of scanning for devices? - there are 2000 odd choices
under /dev/cciss/ and I tried the obvious ones.
It actually appears possible that the controller may not be supported
out of
the box with the early 2.4 kernel.

I'm a little reluctant to mess with kernels etc as its a critical
production
box which is used for 14-16 hours a day. Seeing as I don't need to boot
from
this controller could I just insmod the correct driver? - I am way out
of my
depth here unfortunately - but I would like to solve this one rather
than
hand it one to someone more knowledgeable.

cheers

Mark

If you have set the new disks as an array you may find that the disks
now
have a
c0d0 label rather than sda.
