[ale] Adding drivers to FC 6 for install?

[Keith Hopkins ALE]

Hi Jeff,

  There is a 2.6 driver for those old megaraid cards.  It is considered a "legacy" card, and you need the CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY option set to Y or M in your kernel to use it.

  I'm not familiar with FC, but on openSuSE 10.20, they currently deliver these modules:
/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.ko

# modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.ko
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.ko
