Getting Porteus to recognize a SAS raid array
Posted: 30 Oct 2013, 22:54
Good evening,
I've been using Slax and Porteus for a few years now, and I had Slax 6.02 (yes, ancient I know) running on some rackmount servers hooked up to an Apple XRaid. Everything was running great for about 4 years straight, but we got some new rackmount servers and a Dell Powervault to replace the old stuff. The new server is a Powervault with a PERC 6/i SAS controller (basically an LSI MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP card).
I've been able to download a bunch of different Linux drivers in the hopes that I'll be able to get something to work. So far I got Slackware 13, Debian, and Ubuntu drivers. Now that I've gotten this far, what would be the easiest way to get the drivers into Porteus? I've read some stuff on creating a kernel module, but if there's an easier way of doing this, please let me know.
Thanks!
