Adaptec 3405 RAID Grief
Posted: 2007/07/03 08:49:14
I am having extreme difficulties getting a new server built. Its a custom but nothing outlandish.
Intel P965 s775 mobo
Intel Core2Duo (1.86Ghz)
2GB Mem
Most Importantly
Adaptec 3405 Raid (SAS + SATA)
4 x Hitachi T7K500
The array built fine but I cannot find the correct driver disk for Centos 5 or alternatively 4.5.
Provided on CD and available from Adaptec is a collection of floppy images ( floppy, really???). Also the web site states that RHEL 4 and 5 are completely supported.
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/sas_cards/value/SAS-3405/
In the support section though it states.
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/speed/raid/aac/linux/aacraid_linux_driverdisks_v1_1_5-2442_tgz.htm
"AACRAID driver image files v1.1.5-2442 for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9, and 10, and many others. There may be additional files included for some operating systems that are not officially supported such as United Linux, CENTOS and Fedora Core. These are provided for your convenience."
Within this download is this README.

I have tried Centos 5 install with
Centos-enterprise
Centos-ia32
Centos x86 64
FC
RHEL5
And Centos 4.5 install with above plus
RHEL all poss.
Also included is an aacraid-source file.
Should one of these work? Are my floppy drives nackered (I have tried multiple)? Is there a SOP with Driver disks that may trip up a hardware RAID linux noob? Could someone point me to a way of compiling the source code(never done that before)? Ny other resources I could check?
Any help grately appreciated.
