Jason,
Since my original post, I did turn the HW RAID off and
attempted to use
the first
disk as a normal SAS drive. I got the same result -
"No drives
found..". I now have
the OS installed on a SATA drive off of the SATA controller
that's on
that mother
board with the HW RAID on. Here's what /etc/modprobe.conf
looks like:
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter adp94xx
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
Here's the output from lsmod:

So the adp94xx driver is there, but I don't see any sdN
devices other
than /dev/sda,
which is the SATA drive. Here's /proc/scsi/scsi:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: Maxtor 6V200E0 Rev: VA11
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI
revision: 05
Running modprobe aacraid yields (thinking that I may need
that driver?):
FATAL: Error inserting aacraid
(/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aac
raid.ko): No
such device
I'm going to tun the HW RAID off and see what I get.
Thanks
Steve Finley
