[ale] Adding drivers to FC 6 for install?

[Jeff Lightner]

Thanks for the replies. Sort of what I feared.

The good news is we had a spare PERC 4/DC controller and swapping the
PERC 2/SC out for that seems to have done the trick.   At least FC6 now
thinks I have a (logical) hard drive.

No, I don't think so.  You generally can't run a 2.4 driver in a 2.6
kernel .

I'm trying to install FC 6 on old Dell 6300 which has the PERC2/SC RAID
Controller for its SCSI drives.

It worked on RH 7.3 and I've found a post suggesting the driver is not
in the 2.6 kernel.

Is there a way to tell it to use the driver originally made for the 2.4
kernel during the install of a 2.6 kernel distro?

By the way - Google shows other people talking about the Dell 6300 and
PERC but they are talking about an Adaptec PERC card not the PERC2/SC
which is a Megatrends PERC card instead.
